Having such a clear goal he could achieve in a short amount of time was intoxicating and he applied himself with a fervor that only quick progress can bring.
He did not forget to formulate the Transcendent level for Nosferatu for the dragon while monitoring the progress of his Angels, the most surprising was Erudiel and Suriel the two Sovereigns.
It was a mistake to judge the progress of all his Angels as a single unit, for those with higher potential would always be stronger.
The first time Suriel and Erudiel touched the walls of the City, they lingered for an entire minute. When they were thrown out, the damages they sustained both physically and spiritually were minimal, and they recovered in less than three days.
They soon went at it again, and again… Their progress these last two months was astonishing, and Rowan expected that in less than eight months, they would be fully matured!
This unexpected good news meant he would no longer have to carry the entire load when it came to battling the gods of the Cerulean Galaxy, he would have two potential Sovereigns that were now Archangels.
Rowan could hardly wait.
He did not connect with Maeve to understand the overall direction of the plan to lure out the first god on the list, he only focused on pushing his Berserker Aspect to a higher realm.
A month later, two pieces of good news came to him. The god had been lured out and was currently chasing one of his Ouroboros Serpents to the designated zone where he would be trapped and he could now connect to Andar.

The moment Andar left the Endless Vault, his mind fuzzed and he fell to his knees, he thought he was just feeling the signs of exhaustion after three long months of Engraving his Spirit Matrix, even though he did not feel any inklings of hunger or thirst inside that place, it was undeniable that the mental strain was horrific.
Even Andar's fanaticism for Scripts had to be pushed aside for his body to function properly. Andar did not care that he was now a level three Acolyte or how he even reached that level, the only reason he stopped deciphering more of the Scripts was that if he did not rest, he would collapse.
His progress had been monitored by an excited Steward of the Black Tower who had sent his daily progress to the Tower Master Erick Black, although Andar was not aware of all of that.
He managed to crawl to his bed while noticing that he was missing something obvious, if he had been a little bit more aware of himself he would have realized where those feelings were coming from, but he was so carried away by tiredness that he had forgotten the feeling of Rowan's invisible eyes behind his own.
Rowan watched the sleeping boy with a weird look in his eyes. The direction of Andar's character without his supervision was captivating. The boy was a researcher at heart and was not interested in power in the least.
The opportunity to study magic and unearth the mysteries of the universe was the driving factor behind the madness of the young lad.
The opportunity to live again had instilled in him the desire to learn as much as he could even if his end would turn out not to be a good one, every single moment he was alive to learn was a miracle to him, and so he treasured every single moment, and studied Inscription until he literally collapsed from exhaustion even with his powerful body.
It was a simple thing to read all of Andar's Memories for the past three months, and he became aware of everything that had occurred while he was away.
He became aware of the Tower Masters and many details about the power system of the Supreme Magus World.
He also became aware of the politics and power play in the Magus world and he took note of it, his assumptions about the Covenant were correct, that they were not the best the Supreme World had to offer.
A Tower Master was a mighty Rank 9 Archmage, and it was entirely possible that they could sweep through the entirety of Trion in a single second, even the God King should not be as powerful as that, else a Tower Master would have been a member of the Covenant.
There was a deeper game at play here involving the wars on the Surface of Trion that went beyond just stopping that world from ascending. Rowan could guess some of the reasons.
Most would not know the truth but Rowan now understood that Trion was once the home to his mother, who was the Empyrean of Life, such a place must certainly hold many mysteries that no other Major World could attest to.
The fact that this world wanted to be a Supreme World was enough to question its foundations. Also, there was the machinations of his father.
Rowan sighed as he began brainstorming this issue, perhaps Andar's presence here might be crucial to understanding what was happening behind the curtains, it might shed a new light and allow him to view this problem in a way he had not thought to do before.
He decided to not interfere in the life of this child and he would leave his growth to fate at this early stage. He would only watch in the background and see where the path of Andar leads him.
Rowan wiped his presence from the mind of the boy while noting the coming storm he was bound to face, the actions of Andar's Master were not normal, and Rowan reviewed the message he left for Andar and frowned, he wanted to intervene before deciding to let fate play out.
The boy had begun gathering allies around him, and with his drive for knowledge, it would not be long before he could go far as a Mage.
Rowan's attention was drawn to something else, the Endless Vault. This creature, this Devourer of Light, was not an Empyrean but it was also not a Primordial, it was something alien…
Rowan was not too interested in its bloodline, but it would be interesting if he could learn this Technique because it would become an Aspect, and he wanted to see which was superior among the two Omnipotent Aspect.
He had already felt the vibration of his Primordial Record, and he knew he had already copied this Supreme Technique, he was about to leave Andar's consciousness and retreat deeper into his psyche where he would watch and wait.
When he noticed something in the memories of Andar, that was also in the same room at this very moment…
A force that could detect the presence of Rowan…
