Rowan did not hurry to attack or interfere with the destruction of his Ouroboros Serpents, without killing him, any casualties caused to his Serpents were useless, he would rather wait, as far as he was concerned every single moment that passed, he was getting stronger.
His Ouroboros Serpents had already finished healing inside the void in his hearts, and rearing up for round two, roaring their anger at their killers, they curled around the ring in his chest that was his World Engine, their blood burning.
Rowan kept them in check, they had already played their part for now. He had to be careful with the way he moved his pieces to achieve the best results possible.
Rowan had tasted the power of a Major God, and the abilities of Tenma, the so-called leader of the gods, must be at their very peak, as he was most likely not a Major God, but a High God.
He was quiet as he listened to the god speak, Rowan quietly pulled his Berserker Intent closer to himself, reducing his presence as he began to prepare himself for the battle and the slaughter ahead.
"I'm Tenma, the Ruler of Music and Darkness, the appointed leader of the gods of the Cerulean Galaxy, and you are the monster who comes to our shores without any provocation from any of our number. You have slaughtered our kin, and you have crushed our children to ashes. Whatever you are, you shall pay for your crimes in full. Yet, I'm a merciful god, and this is a place where civility and honor hold sway. I will give you the chance to state your case and plead for forgiveness, and then you shall submit yourself for our justice. Accept this condition or accept death!"
The voice of the god crossed through space, and Rowan noticed that it was not carried by Aether itself, but from every shadow and every darkness present around, the voice even appeared from the shadows around Rowan, and there seemed to be a bit of dissonance coming from the voice around him as if it was seeking for something but it could not find it.
It was not surprising because Rowan had no shadow.
He noticed it was gone when he lost his Soul and created Eva, in a manner, Eva was his shadow.
There was a power in that voice that was cleverly hidden but ultimately turned out to be useless against him. This was a new method of application of a god's power that Rowan found fascinating, as it was not Intent but something else; Authority.
A power that Rowan had recently begun to understand.
For every god, their utmost quest in life was to master an Authority. Without mastering any Authority a Minor God had no hope of becoming a Major God, because one of the prerequisites to becoming a Major God was to master at least one Authority, and a god without an Authority was not necessarily weak, but they would never be able to ascend pass the first stage of godhood. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
