With a weird noise like a haunted scream being played in reverse the four Supreme Circles around Rowan’s body returned to his consciousness and a weight that had settled over this space vanished.

Like a long-forgotten dream, all the devastation that had just been occurring had been wiped out as if it had never happened. It was almost surreal, as the sun shone overhead and birds cried out as they flew past these powerful beings, even the wind that was blowing past them felt charged with excitement.

Rowan gasped and nearly fell on his knees, now that he had dismissed the Circle, something strange had occurred, all his accumulated Aether and Essence had been wiped out. His massive Primordial Seas of darkness and Ambrosia that could flood a galaxy simply vanished into thin air, even the vast Essence hidden in his bones which came from his Primordial Ouroboros Bloodline disappeared.

This was unexpected as Rowan did not have any technique that functioned in this manner, and such a massive loss of power at once would drive someone insane, but with his unreasonable regeneration capability, the moment his energies vanished, they were being rapidly replaced.

The area that contained his Primordial Seas was empty one moment and in the next a massive deluge of Primordial Aether in the form of a black sea and a rainbowed-colored sea appeared out of thin air, with more appearing with every passing moment.

Hidden throughout his dimension were massive invisible veins, Rowan called them Leylines. These veins were filled with his bloodline essence, and they resembled massive rivers made of liquid diamonds. They were wrapped many times around his dimensions, connecting them from the lowest to the highest.

Before entering Tenebris, each of these veins had measured around three hundred feet in circumference, but now that size had doubled and the walls of the veins had been thickened. The Essence running through them which was usually slow like a crawling tortoise, now appeared to move a bit faster.

Like his reappearing Aether, his Essence returned albeit a bit more slowly. The reason was that his Essence was far more condensed than his Primordial Seas.

With the time differential inside his dimension, his recovery in reality took a few seconds, but days had gone by as his vast stores slot returned and in that time Rowan pondered how activating the manifestation of the Supreme Circle for such a short time had robbed him of his entire energy.

Throughout the time that he had activated the manifestations of the Supreme Circle there had not been any single drop of power lost from his dimension. Although a bit strange, he had assumed that the manifestation did not draw on any energy from his body to take shape, and that was why he was a bit puzzled about the statements from Old Man Seed wishing to understand how deep his Essence Stores were.

It was at this moment that he realized that the way the Supreme Circle worked was truly strange. Either powering it for a second or a thousand years, it would not draw on any resources from the user, but when it was deactivated, every single energy in the body of the user would be wiped out.

It would seem that the near Infinite power that the Circle could grant the user when activated also came with a price.

What he would need to figure out was if the duration of manifesting the Supreme Circle mattered to the amount of Essence and Aether that he lost. His energy stores were far more potent than normal, and he refused to believe that he could be wiped out of energy as easily as anyone else.

However, if activating it for one second, two minutes, or ten years still leads to him losing all his Essence then he would need to make sure that he did not use this ability without proper timing.

It was curious though, Rowan thought, that this was such a weird way of managing resources. It would ensure that the user of the Supreme Circle would be nearly invincible when the Circles were active, they would never be bothered with holding back or caring for the amount of energy wasted, essentially giving them an infinite source of energy, but the moment they deactivated this power, all their Essence would be lost.

Even Rowan with his vast stores of energy had run out when he manifested the massive spell he used to destroy the Reflections. If he could have powered that Spell via his Supreme Circle he would never run out of Essence, he could continuously spam techniques of equal magnitude without fear.

Such a thing was ridiculous, but the fact was that he now had access to such an ability. This instantly shot up his offensive potential to a near-limitless degree.

Rowan’s massive consciousness could manifest spells and techniques that would place the famous Taboo Spells of the Mages to shame, and what if he paired all these potential powers with a near-limitless source of energy?!

If that was the case then Rowan imagined that anyone who could master the Supreme Circle would most likely keep them activated permanently, but maybe this was not the case. To carry this technique for long was not an easy thing on the soul, and even if he could disregard the strain, it may not be the case for others. freewēbnoveℓ.com

It was no wonder this technique was the turning point of an Era, and why the difficulty had stumped everyone else until he had arrived. This realization made Rowan understand that no matter how would try to underplay his potential, it was impossible to hide it from Elura and Old Man Seed any longer.

‘This Supreme Circle had finally rounded up my base of power! No matter what happens going forward I must try to survive and push ahead. The last missing chink in my armor has been closed up, and now I need to build it to the 9th Circle and begin climbing the dimension.’

Rowan closed his eyes and took long deep breaths as he felt his body nearly finalized the replacement of all that was lost.

The sensation of a warm hand touching his cheeks drew him from his thoughts and he opened his eyes to see Elura, and although Rowan knew that this woman could control every facet of her being, she could not hide the astonishment in her gaze, or perhaps she did not wish to hide it when she looked into his prismatic eyes.

Rowan’s perfect features that had been revealed after he was expelled from the Tenebris armor were further enhanced by his eyes,

“My son…” Whatever Elura wanted to say was lost in the boundless glow in Rowan’s eyes. He was a Primordial Ouroboros Serpent, and the charms in his eyes were not for the weak of soul to gaze into.

‘Of all the mortals I have seen since the dawn of creation, you are the most radiant.’

These words came from a memory he could not recall and it disturbed him. The only missing piece of his memory came from Caine. There must surely be a connection there.

His minor consciousness pillars were working on this puzzle and they had several reports for him to go through, but he must first handle the matter on the ground.
