Rowan spent a while admiring this heart, he could imagine how terrifying she would have been with her heart, when others could only barely unleash powers that were twice above their levels, with Circe's great grasp of energy control and the fact that her heart would allow her to channel as much power as she could control would mean she would stream roll everything away from her path.
She would have even been more powerful than Fury Kuranes! What a sight that would have become, but her glory was cut short before she had the chance to stun Trion, her destiny was only delayed, but not denied, for Rowan would make her far stronger than her wildest dreams.
Her heart was stunning, there was no doubt about that, yet these impressive powers had a limit. Her potential was fixed, and this heart would never become more potent than that of a Major god.
Already this was very impressive because the greatest curse of a Dominator was their inability to become a god. Their bloodline potential was capped at the Earth god level, and Circe would have not been able to utilize her heart to its greatest potential even when she became an Earth god.
No matter how much power she would have controlled, she would not have reached the limits of a Major god and her potential would have gone to waste.
[This point was very important because, with all of Rowan's powers, he did not know about Tenma. If he did, perhaps he would not have rated Circe's potential to be so low. Yet their meeting was bound to be inevitable, because Rowan was going to be shaking the entirety of Trion, and below the higher ranks of godhood, Tenma had never met his match.]
Bloodline potential… Rowan grinned as he contemplated this weird choice his father made, this would become the first part of his plan to destabilize Trion and pry open its mysteries.
To a large extent if he did not reveal himself in an ostentatious manner, he was basically invisible, and no matter the amount of attention he drew towards Trion, it would be his father that would bear the risk.
Augustus Tiberius the General whose interference with the Tower of Greed, an Origin Treasure that was Aspected to Time, was the one that was partially responsible for the freedom of Rowan inside the Nexus, due to his greed he opened a doorway that freed Rowan from his cell.
That greed was what he would be counting on to bring sweeping changes inside Trion and draw the attention of other parties, when the waters had become muddy, then he would be able to act.
He still remembered the reason why the General had joined the Order of The Broken Eye, they had promised him that they would be able to break apart the bloodline shackle holding back every single Dominator and give him the capability to become a god. Augustus was just one example among countless Dominators numbering in the billions.
The bloodline shackle had chained an elite force, rendering them bound to mortality, leaving only seven individuals to be truly immortal. No wonder the Children of Trion all wished to be free of this curse.
They were all aware that their bloodline made them powerful. The Cerulean Galaxy that Rowan once fought against contained many Minor Gods, two Major Gods, and a Single High God, and yet they would still fall to the Earth gods of Trion if Tenma was not present.
How would the Cerulean gods be able to fight against millions of Earth gods whose powers were equal to that of a Minor god?
Rowan could imagine how much this must sting the Children of Trion, to see themselves as unmatched, but their future to be bleak. This matter was a keg filled with gunpowder, and only a single match was needed to make it explode.
The foundation of a god was their worshippers. Their Divine Kingdom was expanded by the fate and adoration of their subjects. Rowan suspected that the reason the seven Gods of Trion were so powerful was that his father had found a method to channel every single bit of power to benefit the gods and push their potential to unknown heights.
Instead of attacking the gods head on as was expected of him, he would chip away at their foundations, and reveal the power of Trion to the universe.
It took three hours to finish the designs for the heart, and most of that time was actually spent tweaking the heart for it to follow the pathway of a Dominator, but with a single difference.
The Bloodline Origin of Circe that was pointed at Boreas had been severed when she began merging with Archimedes, but now Rowan had remade that connection again, but he added something to it, another hidden connection that led to him.
The stronger that Circe became, the closer she became to her progenitor Boreas, the god who controlled the Pathway of Storms. As their connection deepens, so too would the leash of Rowan's connection to Boreas.
It was said that when a Dominator at the Pyre Lord level and above dies their Territory returns back to their Primogenitor. If that were to be the case then every Dominator inside Trion was just seeds planted by the gods, and when they died, their Territory was harvested to increase their Divine Kingdom.
Rowan had confirmed this fact with the Guardsman that had been sent on that mission bound to fail. After he was done, he was quietly killed by Rowan who harvested his bloodline and his soul and observed the entire process of his death with his Primordial Sight.
He had seen the massive Territory of Ice belonging to the Guardsman swallowed up by a vast power that he did not closely investigate in order not to be detected, and confirmed his final suspicion.
Every Dominator here on Trion was simply food for the gods.
It was no wonder the gods of Trion were so powerful, disregarding their other advantages, just the ability to harvest the Territories of their bloodline would mean their rate of growth would be ridiculous.
Rowan once felt that the gods of Trion could be at the least at the Major God-Level, but might have to increase that by quite a bit. If not for the bloodline shackle imposed on the gods of Trion, then they would be far more powerful than they are now.
His father had been keeping them weak for all these millennia, and now he had suddenly stopped placing the gods on a leash.
Was it because of him? The answer was most likely to be yes. The bloodline shackle was lifted when Rowan escaped Jarkarr. Perhaps his father knew that stopping Rowan was worth the risk of revealing the perverse growth rate of the gods of Trion.
No one in the entire universe would be able to settle down if they knew the gods of Trion had the ability to expand their Divine Kingdom millions of folds by harvesting the Territories of the mortals of their bloodline!
