The dominators of the first Great Circle had Four States of Change: Mortal, Legendary, Rift, and finally Incarnation. A Mage also began their path to power as Mortals, before Awakening their Spirit Matrix and becoming an Acolyte, which was equal to a Legendary.
A peak Rank 3 Acolyte was equal to a peak Legendary, and when the Acolyte became a Mage, it was equal to a Dominator Ascending to the Rift State, a Rank 2 Mage was equal to an Incarnation State Dominator, and a Rank 3 Mage was equal to a peak State Incarnation Dominator.
Rowan was surprised about how much Dominators, well… dominated Mages at this early stage of power, but when he knew that this power system was equal to that of an Empyrean, he understood why that was so. Of course, this all depends on the talent and bloodline of both parties.
Andar was a Rank 3 Acolyte and Rowan doubted if there were any Legendary Dominators that could battle him. With Andar's stores of Aether and his control over every single element, joined alongside his Talents granted by his Meditation Art, he could easily slaughter Incarnation State Dominators, which were equal to Rank 3 mages.
Although Andar was not a warrior, he doubted that even a Rank 3 Mage could withstand a lightning storm the size of a city thrown at them. Of course, Andar did not realize how powerful he was as he did not even think of battle.
This talent of his was equal to that of Fury Kuranes and might even surpass that arrogant Dominator in a manner, because of how versatile Andar's talents were.
Rowan did not even try to compare them with himself, until now, he had not seen anyone his equal in the same level. Technically he was still a Rift State Dominator or as a Mage he would be at Rank 2, but yet he could already kill gods.
But that was because, if the pool of power everyone had available to them was a cup, Andar would be a deep pool or a small stream and Rowan would be an endless ocean. It was no wonder why he would have to feast on an entire universe if he ever wished to reach the peak.
At the second Great Circle a Dominator would go through the Spirit Territory Realm, the Incandescent Realm, and finally the Proclamation Realm, all these were equal to the Rank 4, Rank 5, and Rank 6 Realm as a Mage.
Rowan had discovered that his power system had shifted when he got to the second great circle with his second bloodline. His Realm was not divided, it was just one single Circle, just the same as an Empyrean.
It would seem he no longer walked on the path of the Great Circle but followed the Empyrean path of the Nine Supreme Circles.
If he used that path, then he was at the First Supreme Circle in his Ouroboros Bloodline and the Second Supreme Circle in his Nascent Primordial Bloodline—Sheol.
He did not have to complete his entire Territory to ascend to the Third Supreme Circle for he could easily jump to that stage, as there was nothing truly stopping him from Ascending to the Third Circle at this time, but that would be a waste of his potential.
