Chapter 724 The Layers Of A Divine Kingdom
As Circe began her ascension to godhood, the process for her would have seemed short, her soul was still too weak to process the vast amount of complexities that came with this process, but for Rowan it was anything but, he felt as if a century had gone by before she reconstituted herself inside the Divine Realm of Boreas.
Rowan called it a Divine Realm because this was not a Divine Kingdom, at least not the typical ones he was used to.
During that moment that felt like a century when Circe's mind was being torn apart, Rowan was working to rescue his plans from failure.
Circe would have immediately perished if not for his presence, and it was not easy keeping her alive while he had handicapped himself because he had to lay low.
His plan was on the knife edge of failure but Rowan kept it there, playing a delicate game of catch-up where he stayed just a single step ahead of the hunter while leading him on. Circe might have felt her mind on the edge of dissipation for a few minutes, but Rowan had been fighting to keep her alive for at least a century inside this place where time would had no meaning.
If Boreas had a typical Divine Kingdom no matter how vast it was then Rowan would simply sit back and watch his plans unfold, but he knew the gods of Trion were not simple, and he was right, although he had anticipated a great many situations occurring, including perhaps the Trion Gods were Demons or Celestials or perhaps even Empyreans in disguise, the truths as he was slowly uncovering was far more stranger.
It shed light on a portion of his father's plan in the universe that made Rowan determined not to fail in this venture. There were so many things he could be learning with every passing moment that he was stunned and Rowan regretted the fact that he had only a single consciousness to work with at this time and he had to be focused on his objectives.
The entire idea for having Circe infiltrate the Divine kingdom of Boreas was for him to make his moves stealthily, so what he prioritized was the total secrecy of whatever was going to occur.
He must kill Boreas without the knowledge of the other gods. This was crucial as he feared he would never get a second chance like this again. Rowan likened this situation to him walking on a field of landmines, he could not avoid the danger but only tread softly, too much force and he would trigger an explosion, too little and he would get nowhere.
This feat would be a hundred times more difficult than simply shattering Trion to pieces with a single Sovereign, but Rowan had the confidence that he would succeed, simply because he had many tools in hand making him to be very adaptable to any changes that might occur.
It was for this reason that when he saw Boreas Divine Realm he knew that he was on the right track.
Rowan had seen numerous Divine Kingdoms, even taken apart hundreds of them during his quest to build the Forge. His angels had roamed deep into the isolated corners of the universe in a bloody eight-month affair that saw Rowan harvesting many Divine Kingdoms and learning how they worked.
His father seemed to have a deep fascination with gods and had managed to meld the Empyrean power system to those of the gods and created the Paths of Dominion, and Rowan started like he did—from the fundamentals, which was tearing apart a god's Divine Kingdom to understands all its function.
One of his earliest analogies that he made for the Divine Kingdom was that it was like a fruit and up till this moment he found himself referring to it as such.
If the Divine Kingdom was the fruit, then the Divine Spark would be the seed. To get to the seed, one would have to peel open the shell of the Divine Kingdom which was a region of compressed space around the Divine Kingdom that was fully controlled by the god.
It was this reason why a god could make their Divine Kingdom so small that you could fit a million Divine Kingdoms on the head of a pin, also they could easily hide them in any spatial tears or folds and it would be very difficult to track them.
Nevertheless, part of the reason Rowan took to hunting multiple gods was for the purpose of understanding the methods used in controlling the shells of their Divine Kingdom.
It took a while but he figured out the pattern by which the Shell of a Divine Kingdom applied Spatial Folding to its structure, but this process was still unique to each god, similar to the fingerprints of mortals.
With time he was able to perfectly locate the Divine Kingdom of any Minor God since their application of Spatial Compression was very crude, and no matter how deeply they had hidden their kingdom he could locate them.
Rowan would struggle a bit with a Major God, their Intent brought a new dynamic to the mix which was time, making it difficult for him to pierce through it. If the Spatial fold of a Minor god was stagnant water, a Major god would be a flowing pool.
He could not find the Divine Kingdom of a High God, but all this was before he ascended into his Will State during his creation of his Forge, and he could not tell how much he had improved when it came to detecting their shells at this time.
Still using a fruit as the analogy to a Divine Kingdom, after passing the shell would be the soft pulpy parts of the fruits or the Divine Kingdom proper, this portion of a god's kingdom was where the manifestation of their powers was present, the size and what it might contain was impossible to conceptualize because every god was unique.
Rowan had seen a Divine Kingdom that was filled with nothing but light, another had been filled with human hair, some were deserts and others were nothing but endless rocks and floating islands.
He had learned to quickly reach the essence of the Divine Kingdom and locate its core at a glance.
The Third and final portion was the Divine Spark, which like the seed of the fruit was located deep in the Divine Kingdom, protected and nurtured by the god, even if the shell and the Divine Kingdom were shattered, with the Spark, the god can remake everything that they had lost.
To truly kill Boreas and replace him, Rowan must break through the protection of his Divine Spark and supplant his consciousness with Circe's.
