When he reached the Peak of the Rift State, he stopped his growth, not because he encountered any barrier but as a result of his current Body size now being seven feet tall, and if he pushed for Incarnation, he was afraid his size would be reduced to an inch.
Rowan now understood that without the Benefits of his Absolute Body, it would be quite impossible to contain this bloodline, and he would be expelled from the material universe, his size was not the true factor behind the reason he stopped his growth. With his growing control over energy manipulation, even if his body was reduced to an inch he would be able to forge an energy body for himself that would fool the eyes of most.
But most importantly he could not afford to be expelled from the material universe, as it was often easy to forget that the Avatar of Eve bloodline originated far from the known universes, and from the brief view he had seen of what lied outside reality, it was a harsh environment that would be difficult for him to survive or even understand.
The sounds from his palace growth stopped, and it revealed itself in all its glory before his sights. The Palace now spread over two thousand feet wide, and the courtyard in front almost ten thousand feet.
The purple black Aether being generated was now multiple times more, and they created a mini storm that swept through the Palace of Ice.
Rowan's first thought was to check out the Astrolabe. As his perception reached it, he stopped in shock before he began to laugh. He would need to revise all his plans, but it was worth it, suddenly he felt free, with this single chamber unlocked by his bloodline, he would no longer have to measure his steps, and now he would run.
This changed everything, the Lady of Shadow truly picked what he needed at this time. He called the Ouroboros Serpent into his body and relaxed on his Throne.
The Astrolabe only had a single function — Fast Travel. It may seem simple, but its functionality was remarkable, in some ways better than teleportation.
What he needed to use this function was easy, he would point it at a direction, any direction, say a star at the end of the galaxy, and it would gather the entire Palace or the intended target and sent them in a stream of light that moved so quickly it broke all the concepts of speed and deliver the target to the destination pointed at. Of course, this all depends on the amounts of energy he placed inside the Astrolabe, and the amounts of entities that were being transported.
The energy used to move from one end of the planet to another was quite different from what he would expend moving from one end of the galaxy to another. He was in a unique position to give as much energy as required, but even he could run dry.
Where should he start?
Rowan looked up at the three moons and grinned, he opened a wine bottle and drank from it, then pointing at the middle moon, (which was the largest) with the bottle, he activated the Astrolabe.
A large circular rune appeared below his throne, and shone brilliantly and with a flash of light Rowan saw himself on the moon, sitting in his throne.
