Watching the Eye of Ti fight was a revelation unto itself and Rowan knew that he should be able to do sothing similar with his command over Intent and other extra-dinsional forces, the only catch would be that he needed his dinsional body to do so, he could not be like the Eye of Ti who was able to perform such miracles using such a fragile shell as it occupied.
He might not know much about these Ascendants, but he understood that they were both supre geniuses in their own right, and their example had shown him exactly what he needed to avoid when fighting the Eye, although it was a sha that at the mont this was not what he needed from these Ascendants, but more ti, sothing they seem not to be able to get him for much longer.
Rowan sighed, it would seem that this next move he would be making could not be avoided, he would have to summon Calamity and break the balance.
The rger of his dinsion had reached the peak, and the road in his ntal space was nearly completed, there should be no reason he should summon Calamity, but Rowan's instincts were screaming at him that he did not have as much ti as he thought.
No longer hesitating he pushed his left hand forward and whispered, "Queen of Calamity, heed the call of your creator, and shine your ebony light on the dark road, call forth the gloaming."
From his palm the face of the Shiik appeared, it stretched the tallic skin of his palm until she tore through it, and like a tornado of darkness she erupted into the world, and her Aura was amazingly at the sixth dinsional level.
The Shiik had reached the fifth-dinsional level without much interference from Rowan, but that changed after he had returned.
She would be one of his weapons in this war, and it was necessary to draw out her potential as quickly as possible, in the months before this day, he had pushed the connection between the Shiik and the Temple Maidens deeper than before, and her greater powers were not a mistake. The Shiik traveled to the highest heaven on a stream of black smoke, her ebony body piercing through space and ti like a mirage and instantly appearing in the area where the eyes of the realm had once resided and then she unleashed her dark light.
Erging from her body were mystical phantoms of the transford Temple Maidens, each of them resembling wisps of red fla.
She took the form of a black sun, and in its center was a red light which were the millions of Temple Maidens that were bowing down and worshipping her even as mystical chanting erged from their lips, and from the earth, the Shiik appeared to have beco an eye, the eye of calamities.
From all corners of the realm ca a sound like the tolling of bells and with her at the center, seven Calamity Suns rose, and their darkness began to disperse the chaos surrounding the realm created by the clash between Rowan and the Eye of Ti.
They seed to have always been present but had been hidden behind the veil of chaos unleashed by the battle, and as Rowan had realized, the Calamity Suns were powerful, yet seed to be mindless. If they were they could have easily torn through the veil and into the realm once more, as easily as the Ascendant Suns had been able to do.
As darkness fell, the eyes of heaven began to return in all their fury and this ti, they were not hundreds of them, but tens of thousands, the green of their eyes were covered with simring red lightning as destruction brewed overhead.
However, there was sothing strange about their appearances, it was subtle, yet was discernible to those who could see beyond the surface of things and Rowan recalled what Old Man Seed had told him when he introduced him to Doom Star.
He had said that the realm had been broken a long ti ago but he did not know the reason why that had happened after all Doom Star was an ancient realm, older than Old Man Seed, and now Rowan could see the form that this brokenness took and it was its Will. The Will of Doom Star had been fractured, and instead of a singular Will guiding this realm, there were thousands.
The Will of an individual and those of a realm were different. In the middle ground were World Holders whose Will could bridge both divides, they could do this because they had the ability to permanently manifest their dinsion in reality by rooting them in the Nothingness, and so could experience a portion of how a realm's Will would function.
The Will of an individual was the chain used to bind the power of Ti, and this chain grew stronger and more expansive the greater the dinsional capabilities of the individual grew with their ascent into higher dinsions, and if for any reason the individual lost the power of their Will or it was broken, the effect on the individual would be terrible but the chains of Will was ultimately just a higher level for the individual and its loss would mostly an a demotion of power or madness.
The chance to recover their previous level would be slim to none, but they could still live relatively normal lives.
An example would be Shisu, even if Rowan was utilizing his Will in a manner that was opposite to his nature and Will, it only caused Shisu great pain and madness, and if he stopped this Ascendant could slowly recover.
For a realm, this process was far more intricate and entwined with what they are because their entire senses and consciousness were wrapped up in their Will.
The creation of a World Core was linked with their Will, and breaking their Will would lead to deep injuries within their core, and like Doom Star, that fracture could lead to madness and injury that might not be easily healed or even understood.
Unlike an individual, the power of a realm would not drop after their Will was broken, because their Will and their state of existence were the sa.
The realm of Doom Star's Will was fractured in the past, and all the eyes of heaven had different minds and agendas, they could detect that there was a great enemy inside their realm, but they could not co together as one to display their entire might.
This led to delays in their decision-making process and their responses to threats was chaotic. In normal tis, the many fractured Wills of the realm were busy fighting against each other, but the presence of the Eye of Ti was so vast, it had forced all of them to attempt working together to eradicate this threat.
Despite how slow and chaotic their responses were, there was one thing Rowan understood about this realm, and that it supported Calamity, perhaps from the start this was not always the case that the realm always supported darkness and ruin, but its endless experintation with the soul had not only led to the degradation of its children, which had led to the degradation of what was left of its mind.
