Lost seemed surprised at the question before he laughed,
"That person? Oh you mean my father? Well, that's an over-exaggeration don't you think? I mean he has only destroyed, let's see, ten, hundred and twenty, no, if I add the other thirty worlds near the edges of the Cerulean Galaxy it makes it a hundred and fifty-five, but all that is due to war so that does not count.
"Now when it came to building the Forge, that was when he went all out. I think Father ate ten thousand planets, or was it twenty thousand… Every day he was eating a lot, I thought he would get fat! You would expect something like this to happen, surely you would understand what I mean, don't you, Big Guy?"
As Lost became lost in thought as he tried to count the number of resource planets that Rowan had devoured during the creation of the Forge and all the materials he needed to build a semi–fifth-dimensional space, the face of Han Li and the rest of Great Sages became increasingly grimmer.
The thoughts on the monster that was Rowan made them very uncomfortable.
"Hey, Eva, how many worlds did my father consume when he wanted to build the Forge?"
"You should make yourself more useful Lost, and I'm not giving you that number, a minor mental arithmetic on your part and you will figure it out for yourself."
The boy pouted, "But I don't wanna, hate maths, it is just cruel…Hey. Look Vraegar is awake… over here Vraegar, come and check out all this neat stuff, do you know this mountain is alive?"
Rowan watched the surprising change happening in the Realm and the cooperation between his Angels and the Great Powers of this Realm and he sighed in appreciation of the quick thinking of the leaders of this Realm, the lady among them seemed to have a solid grasp on the powers of Fate and this was something Rowan was willing to investigate more deeply.
The Primordial Record had already swallowed another 900 Soul Crystals before the changes it had been undergoing became complete, and it took another 400 Soul Crystals more, and finally, his Will was complete.
The Core shrank further in his hand until it was smaller than a dot and suddenly Rowan felt a cold Aura wash over him that was emanating from the Core.
At this moment Rowan's appearance was non-human, resembling a creature of shadow and darkness very similar to the appearance of the Third Prince, but he had countless stars that filled that darkness covering his entire humanoid form, and as the cold waves passed through his body all those stars began to gather to his face where they all congregated around his eyes.
The light from countless stars in his eyes suddenly burst forth and pierced into the atmosphere, creating a pillar of starlight that slammed into the void above him.
From the pillar of starlight, massive runes began to stream from it like fireflies and started to engrave themselves onto the very fabrics of reality.
They were similar to the Arcane Runes Rowan had been using during his Forging but these ones were simpler, lacking much of the flourish used by Rowan, but it did not take away from its charm; instead, it enhanced them. This Runes seemed like the original Rune, the true expression of the universe's given form.
The starlight bursting forth from Rowan's eyes seemed to be endless, and the Runes that were escaping from the pillar of starlight began to increase from millions to billions to trillions until a third of the Mountain and Sea Ruim had been covered, and the change did not stop, only increased in intensity.
What Rowan had used years to accomplish, the Primordial Record was doing the same in a few seconds and on a much wider scale and intensity.
"Hurry up… the great change is upon us," Sparrow the Great Sage cried out as she looked overhead in awe and fear as the darkness was covered by billions of Runes that seemed to be alive, they shot past her and swept towards the horizon millions of miles away, traveling far faster than the speed of light.
The Great Sages no longer held back, and unleashed their Martial Essence, expanding their reach until they touched the corners of the entire Realm and they sucked everything into their various Holy Grounds.
It was just in time as the Arcane Runes completely covered the entire Mountain and Sea Ruin and with a loud cry that denoted the birth and death of a Realm, the last vestige of this Supreme World was shattered.
The way Rowan understood what happened next was difficult to describe, similar to a burst of light slammed into his brain a million times per second, his consciousness vanishing and returning every ten-second interval becoming the norm for a while.
Rowan quickly realized that this was happening to protect his sanity as whatever he was currently experiencing was so dense in information that it was frying his neural network and his mind had to shut down and heal before he could continue.
When his mind returned he witnessed an awe-inspiring scene… The Mountain and Sea Realm was massive, almost the size of ten thousand planets stacked together, in other words, they were the size of a large star.
This entire Realm had been shredded into large pieces, each of them cut in a precise manner like a jigsaw puzzle, and endless trillions of these puzzles were steaming towards him, mountains, rivers, seas, valleys, clouds, light, air…. Everything was part of a gigantic puzzle and they all headed towards him.
So much data…. His mind shut down, and when it returned he saw the puzzles beginning to shrink and stream into the Core in his hand.
The Core began to beat like a heart and slowly began to grow, its shape was changing, as if waiting for Rowan and its nature as a Destroyer to give it form.
So much power…. His mind fell into darkness again. When it returned, half of the Core was complete and Rowan could already see the shape, he nodded in satisfaction, for he could feel the growth of the Destroyer and he slowly turned his hand and grasped it.
So much potential…. His mind fell into darkness for the last time and when he awoke to his full self, he looked around in surprise. He was in a place that was unique, existing more as a concept than a living dimension…
"So this is my will… this is Truth." Even sound did not exist here, not even light, nevertheless Rowan could see more clearly than ever before. He looked at his right hand and he was holding a seven-foot Great Sword.
"My Destroyer is complete."
