Chapter 1074: Unexpected Changes


    ?


    In this area where time and space were measurable and malleable, premonition was a visible phenomenon, and reality darkened as the sky burned red, a trillion lost souls screamed to the heavens as they wept tears of blood that came down like a flood, drowning the world in red.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The darkness groaned and a voice that echoed from the depths of time spoke,


    "My Queen Cometh..."


    All these phenomena instantly vanished a momentter as if it was nothing but a figment of a dream, but everyone here heard, saw, and felt the crushing dread that had held the world bound.


    The Ascendant in white opened his mouth to scream, but the world seemed to have been lost in time as everything froze, and a wave of red erupted from Rowan''s body, as well as thirty mighty limbs that reached up for miles as if they were about to tear the heavens apart.


    Rowan had been fighting by himself, but he was not alone, merged into his body was the Shiik, and it was his hidden ace, because, unlike an Ascendant that needed to merge a continent with their Natal Treasure, a Cmity only needed Aura and experience to level up from the Deific Rank.


    That experience came in the form of performing feats of terrible acim, like say, killing an Ascendant, and Rowan had not just killed any normal Ascendant, the Divine Ascendant who was at the First Dan, and with the Shiik merged into the hand that ripped the Ascendant into pieces, it gained all the tangible benefit of killing such a power being.


    At this moment the Shiik had fulfilled all the necessary rites to be a Newborn Cmity God, and Rowan knew that even though the Shiik would be extremely powerful, he was not utilizing it for their strength in battle, against the opposition here, a thousand simr Shiik would be useless, the higher dimension was one where number could not cross, no he was using it as a channel to summon Cmity, the true Cmity.


    He could hide the ascent of the Shiik to a Cmity God from the Ascendants around him because he was converting soul energy directly into Cmity Aura with no outside interference, and his potent Ascendant Aura infusing his body was enough of a shield to block any minute Cmity wave that might escape during the Ascension, in the end, reality had betrayed him but it was still toote, Rowan had already begun his preparation even before he fought the Divine Ascendant in the continents below.


    When the red light surged out from his hands it was already toote. Rowan could not control higher dimensional forces, but with the right steps, he could manipte them.


    It was unknown who first detected something had changed because what happened next took ce in a realm beyond the understanding of everyone present there. Rowan had pulled the trigger, but even he was not fully conversant of the effect that would follow.


    A poet would say that the Heavens Changed and Hell took its ce.


    Rowan had seen the Cmity Suns take the ce of the Ascendant Suns when he was at the lower Continents, and that time the effect had been jarring in its suddenness and unexpectedness, one moment there was light, and suddenly there was darkness. He should have paid more attention to this.


    Being this close to the changing of reality as Ascendancy fled before Cmity, the Aura in Rowan''s body was so suppressedpletely that he could barely stand on his own two feet, only his golden robe kept him standing.


    The space created by the White Ascendant holding him bound was broken with a loud shriek as the Threshold which had not shifted a single inch despite the previous battle groaned and began to shatter under a strain beyond theprehension of immortals.


    The Ascendants were thrown into disarray, and except for Rowan and the Ascendants who were at the First Dan and above, the rest copsed to the ground as gravity and other fundamental rules of reality were thrown into chaos.


    Overhead, something fantastic was happening, whereas from the lower continents, the change from Ascendancy to Cmity was fast, in the upper continents it was a mind-breaking battle.


    It was nearly impossible to describe what happened next, as darkness began bleeding into the light, the Ascendant Suns overhead shuddered intensely before they started to shatter into pieces, flinging outrge geysers of mes and light that were rapidly swallowed by red mes and darkness. Millions of Ascendant Continents above shattered to pieces, in an orgy of violence that could be least described with the word, Cmity.


    The shattering of the continents was just the first step for they transformed into ck flesh and eldritch blood, and the three ascendant suns exploded as seven Cmity Suns were birthed from their ruin. It was like watching a child tear its way out of a mother''s womb from her back. It was a sickening disy of perversity.


    "What have you done!" The White Ascendant screamed, no longer bound by time, and Rowan simply shrugged, at first he was surprised that the cry from the Ascendant carried arge amount of pain, but his eyes widened when all the Ascendants here began to transform.


    Massive tentacles burst out from their bodies, snapping against space and drawing harsh shrieks of pain from reality. Tens of thousands of hungry eyes erupted from the darkness as madness took their ce.


    Rowan almostughed when he realized that the abrupt transition in the sky was easily exined when it meant there was no difference between Cmity and Ascendancy, at least to the powers controlling everything from the shadows. At the right juncture, they could switch ces.


    This entire war was a farce, and as always, it was the mortals that suffered for it.


    An intense wave of danger assaulted Rowan, and he took a step back as his body rippled, reced by the Shiik.


    Rowan''s vision was reduced to a dot as the emerging Newborn Cmity God took over, but the danger he felt did not reduce, instead, it heightened and with a sigh, he ced himself into aa and he became the Shiik, and the Shiik became him. His mind slowed, and everything came to him as if he was dreaming, yet his awareness never faded.


    It was a backdoor he had created when merging with the Shiik.


    At the time when the mind of the creature was yet formless, Rowan did not tamper with it, so as not to draw attention from the World''s Will, instead, he reced all the neural framework of the Shiik with his Parasitic cells, creating a situation where the emerging mind of the Shiik belonged to the Cmity but the framework that held the mind in ce belonged to Rowan. The same process he used to create the body of this Ascendant Explorer, he could also create a body inside the Shiik using the bloodline of Cmity.


    The feeling of danger passed, Rowan had be as much a Cmity as the Shiik itself, existing as the container that held its mind, and at this moment that mind was in turmoil as great changes swept over it.


    Its mind which contained nothing but instincts and a childlike but cruel notion of morality began to bloom into an infernal tapestry of madness. Thoughts formed at lightning speeds and to amodate them, Rowan had to grow. The Shiik exploded in size and somehow its body remained the same.
