Whatever changes happened to Rowan when he devoured the Berserker Tribulation, his control over his powers had taken an explosive leap forward.
Dao Ma's body exploded, a large part of it vaporizing into mist, while the little pieces shot out with so much force they ignited in the air, shooting past the formation like countless meteors and escaping into space. Such a spectacle was like countless meteorites flying through space.
Dao Ma was left with only a single eye and his whip. The former floated in the air filled with rage and indignation so deep it was nearly bottomless.
Rowan just smiled, "For a god you are a bit slow, wonder if it's your head… hmm, why do you keep your head like this? I don't see many goddesses willing to marry you if you keep your head in this state."
"I WILL…" Dao Ma's voice thundered around the entire battered planet, "KILL YOU FOR THIS SACRILEGE!!!"
"Get in line." Rowan backed away but not fast enough for he was swallowed by an explosion that if he calculated using the previous level of a nuke in his previous life, would be equal to a billion Megaton or even more!
This was a release of power that should have been seen from all over the galaxy because, for a brief moment, the light that shone was a million times brighter than the sun.
The explosion was powerful, but the important part was that it was not focused on Rowan entirely, and even though he was vaporized to atoms, no power entered his Mental Space and he returned in full in less than a second and he was destroyed again, and again and again.
After the umpteenth time, he became a bit accustomed to the level of Energy after a large part of it had been spent and its momentum exhausted.
Remarkably, the world he built for this battle had not been entirely destroyed but had melted in half, making it resemble a bowl filled with lava. Such a blow would have wiped out a billion Earth gods, no wonder the Domain of a god was unreachable for mortals.
Rowan had been pushed towards the edges of the planet after his body had been swept more than a million miles away by the explosion.
The first thing he noticed as he looked around the planet was its new shape and he chuckled, "Flat earth hehe…Now this is how a god should smite!"
His amusement was cut short when a vast presence filled the planet, green lightning and fog filled the hollow skies and began to converge to create a figure thousands of feet tall, that soon began to reach the size of miles and kept growing until it began to cover the heavens.
A growing pressure began to emanate from the massive body of the god generating massive winds that froze the lake of lava and Rowan had to brace himself to avoid falling off the planet, the Formation above began to crack as pieces of it began to fall off, his Angels was at their limit and we're barely holding on.
The god roared in the distance and continued growing bigger, as the surrounding space began to quake.
Eva appeared beside him, the wind blowing her dress and hair into a mess, "Is he attempting what I suspect?" she asked skeptically
"Your conclusion is as good as mine," Rowan replied, "But yes, I think he is attempting to become a Major god, which is weird, I don't think I gave him much of a threat to push for that option so soon, I thought, we would fight for a few weeks at the least."
Eva rolled her eyes, "I can see you have already grown stronger, and the Tower of Greed has been ruined, it would take at least another three years to bring it up to its previous level. Was it worth it?"
Rowan clenched his fist, feeling the billions of red tendrils flowing around his fist, as the Berserker Intent he had awakened prematurely filled him with strength, coupled with all the Attributes he had stolen, made him feel five times stronger than when he began this fight, plus his Eruption was now at an astonishing 35%
"Oh it's worth it alright," Rowan replied, "But I don't think it would be enough if Dao Ma becomes a Major god. It's time to go all out."
"You would think so," Eva muttered, "but you seem to be enjoying yourself a little too much. You must hurry, if he reaches that level, his Divine Kingdom will ascend as well, and with the present level of your World Seed, it would no longer be able to threaten him."
"I know… I know… Don't be a nag Eva, it's not cute." Rowan opened his hand and Envy settled in it, and stepping into the air he blasted towards the growing figure of the god, whose head would soon touch the Formation above.
Eva cursed and began making mystic gestures, "I'm not cute… I'm fierce."
The shadow around her body thickened, and what resembled a cape streamed behind her that extended for hundreds of feet, and horns made from shadows grew behind her to hover at her back like a mystical barrier, and her magic burned the world blue.
A portal opened in front of her that resembled a black hole colored blue, that portal began sucking all the wind flowing around this planet, it was filled with power and Dao Ma may require it for his Ascension if she could rob him of this resource it would go a long way to assure them of victory.
It would seem Eva had begun to awaken knowledge of her spells from her previous life. Another portal opened beside her that was colored green, this portal began spitting out the winds the blue portal collected, but now there was no longer any godly energy inside it, but it would be hard to detect that change unless you observed it carefully.
As the portals operated they began to grow in size and the difficulty of operating it also increased, but she gritted her teeth and persisted, "I am fierce, but maybe also cute."
The faith she had in Rowan was near absolute. He would win, as over time, he had proven he would scrape victory from the unlikeliest of odds and he had plans within plans that worked together perfectly well, and even if he failed, he would pick himself back up and come up stronger.
