Rowan did not know what to expect having been abruptly drawn into an area he dreaded entering at this stage, and for a while, he could not understand anything he was seeing, he was lost, and the only light he could hold on to was from the Spirit Matrix Gate and even then he was about to lose that.
That would be a bad thing, as Rowan would be left naked and helpless in this place. It was not as if he was blind, only that whatever this place was, it was filled with so much information that he could not process it.
The light from the Spirit Matrix Gate was fading and Rowan decided not to struggle to understand, if he was a creature was was meant to exist outside the universe, then the method to do so would come to him.
Rowan no longer hesitates when it comes to issues like this. He stopped clutching onto the fading light from the Spirit Matrix Gate, the sensation was like a drowning man who simply gave up struggling to hold his breath and just decided to begin breathing in water.
It was unnatural at first, but an intuition as innate as breathing made him shift his perception into the eyes of his Ouroboros Serpents, and like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle, his perception clicked, and he gained understanding, but with this understanding came… power!
Power like he had never felt before, raw and unfiltered and having such great depths he floundered in the immensity of it, feeling like a single grain of sand on a beach filled with an endless amount of sand.
His Ouroboros Bloodline, Sheol, and the Tree of Desire began to bubble with anticipation, a keen but confused longing deep inside his body as a fresh wave of unknown power, that was not Aether but something else began to surround his flesh.
Rowan only had a bare moment to comprehend what just happened before he hurriedly channeled this power into a position that would cause the least amount of change in his bloodlines and he screamed as his body began to dramatically expand.
He had been burning Eruption all this while, and the moment he was dragged outside the universe and his perception molded to this place, his bloodline had begun attracting these different sources of energy that sought to penetrate his body and change him on a fundamental level.
Yet Rowan knew if he allowed this change to happen, then he would be forever barred from the universe or any other universes, this was not his plan, he was not ready or powerful enough to leave the universe.
The power was horribly invasive and sought to enter his body by all means, still, Rowan was familiar with handling forces like this one, as a similar power he was focusing on, which was Eruption, acted a bit like this, it gave him a massive amount of power to channel towards any part of his body as he deemed fit.
The latter portion of this technique was important, as channeling all this power not into his bloodline but into something else inside of him was the best option.
He was fighting to have more than one Primordial Bloodline and a necessary criterion for such a lofty goal was to continuously purify his bloodlines until he reached their Origin, and he must be careful not to dilute them, no matter how much easy power he could gain now, he would ultimately lose out.
Rowan was lucky that his Eruption technique had reached the 50% point, else he would be insane at this moment. This aided him in understanding how to process power of this scale, or he would have exploded, creating a Mini–Bing Bang.
This process was not easy, but Rowan knew he was capable of succeeding, after all, he was born for moments like this.
He could barely use the power of all his consciousness pillars to push all this power into his Constitution and Rowan began to grow. In his sheer desperation, he kept reaching for more Consciousness Pillars, and somehow there were also more waiting for him.
He did not understand this power, and he did not push it into any of his bloodlines and directed it in the only place he could control and quickly burn it off if he wanted to.
From his fragile eight-foot mortal frame his body exploded to a thousand miles in less than three seconds, and it was not enough, it was just beginning. His cries of pain and exaltation were like a thunderous bell that was heard across forever and attention was beginning to be drawn towards his position.
Even as his body was undergoing a drastic change, the consciousness pillar he had connected to the Spirit Matrix Gate began to ache. The amount of Mental Power being drawn from it was stupendous, enough to reduce a thousand Earth gods to insanity.
He was being stretched towards two different directions, he needed to process all the powers from outside the universe and also to satisfy the demands of the Spirit Matrix Gate, but still, he found himself having access to more Consciousness Pillars!
Rowan began to assign them to this frozen Spirit Matrix Gate and massive etchings the size of continents began to appear on the gate.
Feeding on Rowan's Mental Energy, the Spirit Matrix gate began plotting out the events of Rowan's life, and as Rowan grew bigger, shooting past ten thousand miles, he began to understand what was happening to him at the moment, and also the incredible opportunity the Spirit Matrix Gate was giving him.
When his Perception had clicked as he acclimated to his environment, the understanding he gained was profound.
There were different energies outside the universe that were incredibly vast and portent, some of these were Aether but it was minuscule in comparison to the other powers present here, and to truly understand the scale of the powers flooding outside the universe, even a small portion of this minuscule Aether floating around was vaster than any amount of Aether that could be found inside the universe.
Rowan could see the universe he just exited, from his position, it was…everything!
Its immensity was beyond forever, and a mortal or even a god would not understand what they were even looking at, but his new perception made him trace the edges of it and also showed him similar universes floating forever away, each of them the size of forever.
