Balasa stared at the horrifying golden sculpture of punctured dragons that floated in the skies as she swallowed.
She saw the figure of her new Master float out of it while collecting dazzling Ruler’s Gems, and she didn’t show even an ounce of envy as her massive body remained suspended in the air as she asked with a sense of fear.
“What else…would Master like for me to do? I will accomplish it without fail!”
Seeing the horrific decimation of life this being just carried out, she knew she couldn’t get on his bad side as she would do whatever he asked.
And he didn’t even look in her direction as he voiced out calmly, his gaze fully enamored by the Ruler’s gems that began to disappear into his body.
“Same thing as before. Be discreet and do not draw the attention of the Sky Ruler of Space just yet.”
“Yes, Master!” The Three Headed Red Dragon nodded its head as if it were a chicken, the Covenant of Fire erupting around her massive draconian body as she shot out into the distance!
As if running away from the presence of a monster.
The area she left retained the brilliance of gold, Alexander in the skies listening as dazzling words passed through his mind!
||The rate of understanding of the Covenant of Gold has increased by 6%.||
||The rate of understanding of the Covenant of Gold has increased by 6%.||
||The rate of understanding…!|
He kept his focus on the radiance of gold as from 82%, it shot up rapidly.
On the third Ruler’s Gem to be absorbed.
…!
He didn’t hear anything at all for a moment as everything seemed to freeze.
His mind was filled with an influx of truly critical information as he found himself asking in a dazed tone.
“What is Gold?”
Gold.
Just what was it exactly?
As he asked himself this, his eyes closed while a terrifying aura began to bud within him.
His Enneagram shone brightly on his chest as it began to gain bolded lines around its sockets.
Gold.
Gold was brilliance.
Gold was strength.
Gold was arrogance.
Gold was of immense purity as that which was impure is altered with its presence.
For someone who completely understood gold, they grasped every single variation of its being and could freely express it!
Alexander felt all of this in what seemed like the span of an instant, and he felt like a door opened inside of him that bathed everything in gold.
He opened his eyes once more.
And…
“Ah…”
All around him, he saw particles of gold.
Miniscule.
Small.
But abundant.
In the skies, in the earth below, and even in this gray fog all around!
Gold seemed to be permeating all around as even through this fog that obscured his vision before; he now saw that he could visualize everything for at least ten miles all around.
And that was in this restrictive environment!
These countless particles of gold he saw in the surroundings all seethed at this moment as many of them surged into his body constantly, making him feel a sense of fullness he hadn’t felt before.
He looked a few miles away and saw a single particle of gold.
Just from observing it, he felt an intricate connection with it as he instinctively moved.
And a moment later, he appeared miles away where this golden particle was!
…!
Akin to teleportation.
And yet all he did was express the arrogance and purity of Gold!
He was dazed as many words rolled in.
||Your Understanding of the Covenant of Gold has reached 100%!||
||Great changes bloom within you as a Covenant Gem of Gold emerges at the center of your being. Incorporeal, this Covenant Gem does not require the bindings of a Socket, and is the seed that can be used for the Assimilation of the Covenant of Gold with your being.||
A Covenant Gem.
Something that didn’t exist in a Land Ruler!
||With the Covenant Gem of Gold, a False Domain of Gold can now be unleashed in your surroundings.||
||Complete assimilation of the Covenant of Gold will allow for the True Domain of Gold to be unleashed.||
||Your Assimilation of the Covenant of Gold has reached 1%.|
…!
His life force seemed jubilant.
His Enneagram seemed to be getting bathed with a heavy brilliance of Gold!
He could feel that even more changes were coming as rapidly, both his Vigor and Energeia crossed the 10 million point.
And as they did so, they slowly began to change.
The blue waves of Energeia seemed to become denser while the crimson waves of Vigor became more potent!
||The Value of Vigor is being transformed to become Ascendant Vigor. 10 Million Values of Vigor equal 1 Ascendant Vigor Value.||
||The Value of Energeia is being transformed to become Ascendant Energeia. 10 Million Values of Energeia equal 1 Ascendant Energeia Value.||
…!
Everything about him seemed to be altered to become heavier and denser as the aura he currently radiated was something that no Land Ruler could give off.
It was as if he himself was radiating a pressure that bore down on the skies themselves.
Skies!
—
Across Ephesus.
About 2,000 miles away from the Sacred Gold Mountain.
Such a distance may have been considered very far before, but it was only an insignificant portion of Ephesus right now that was many times larger.
At the midpoint of a Sacred Mountain that pulsed with thunder and lightning, a massive silver dragon had its claws dug into the corpses of charred Alfanians, Golden skin outline amidst a bloody carnage as other Dragons had their heads bowed down while staring ahead.
The silver dragon pulsed with heart shaking radiance that all other Rulers here feared, his gaze currently filled with callousness as purple rings of lightning that granted him Ruler’s Covenant Authority points disappeared on his limbs!
[I want to say that all those who do not bow down before the majesty of Dragons shall perish…but why is it that 8 of you have fallen in such a short period of time? Who could be butchering my little worker bees?]
…!
The Silver Ruler of Space uttered out coldly as the terrifying grandeur of a Sky Ruler pulsed from him.
He marked all of those he sent out, and 8 of these markers had died and faded away.
Three of them perished one by one, while 5 perished simultaneously!
Such an action enraged him as it seemed that likely, another Sky Ruler was questioning his authority!
