He didn’t look back.
He made the choice and forged ahead as rapidly, his life force felt like dried wood that was suddenly lit aflame.
It blazed.
It roared up with glory as his low digits of Ascendant Energiea and Ascendant Vigor shot up exponentially, his body suspended in the skies as he felt weightlessness!
He felt like every part of his body was changing thoroughly, along with everything connected to him as the abundant waves of life force inside of him…coagulated into raging rivers.
His Enneagram allowed these raging rivers to flow through it as it shone with a wondrous hue of gold.
His Gem Constellations that seemed far away and ever closer radiated waves of brilliance as they also shone with a hue of gold!
Everything…seemed to be elevated with this significant jump in power!
||Your Assimilation of the Covenant of Gold has reached 99%.||
The skies were truly tinged gold.
Down below, the molten earth and small mounds of mountains reflected gold as they became frozen over- every other authority they were expressing being overruled as this entire landscape became entirely solid gold.
And then, all that remained…was a single percentage.
At 99% Assimilation, it felt like everything stopped as Alexander felt his own body- his very own being…turning into pure golden brilliance!
His feet melted away and disappeared.
His lower body turned into a vibrant golden light that merged into the sea of gold all around!
And soon enough, even his upper body turned into pure gold radiance.
His chest that held the unfathomable Enneagram looked like the center point of all this gold, and it currently shone like a dazzling golden nine pointed star as it released scorching waves of heat!
Only when every part of his body turned into pure particles of gold…
||Your Assimilation of the Covenant of Gold has reached 100%.||
HUUM!
A resonant ringing boomed out as from the dazzling nine pointed star, nerves, organs, musculature, and a skeletal structure began to form as it all shone pure gold.
Reconstruction.
Reformation!
It was a change from the old to something entirely brand new, and it came with many, many advances.
||All parts of your being have taken a step forward.||
||The Enneagram has made tremendous advancements.||
||The Gem Constellations have made tremendous advancements.||
||You have gained the distinction of a Master of the Covenants, allowing you to understand and assimilate other Covenants twice as fast!||
BOOM!
He opened his eyes.
And everything around trembled with golden brilliance as the very skies seemed like they were shaking!
This…was a Void Ruler?
He felt immensely powerful. So powerful that he could cross the skies within a thousand miles in less than a minute.
So powerful that he could sense everything within these one thousand miles!
He recalled how not too long ago, he was only able to observe and see things within 1 mile.
And now, this number had risen a thousandfold!
But this was only a part of it.
He looked at his hand as by simply sending it his thoughts, it turned liquid gold. A moment later, it turned into pure gold light, and then a block of solid gold!
Any and all parts of him, he could turn gold.
If someone who did not have full assimilation of a Covenant tried to fight him, much of their attacks would simply be absorbed by his gold form as injuring him would be extremely hard!
Injuring a Void Ruler…was impossibly hard unless one was a Void Ruler themselves.
This was how terrifying it was for one to fully assimilate a Covenant of Nature with themselves.
Alexander raised his head to the distant skies as he felt like even if he didn’t rely on a certain Gem Constellation, he could fully and freely cross the skies of Ephesus and enter its space, and he could survive there without needing to worry about anything else.
This was how critical this stage was.
As if he was now becoming an entirely different life form.
No longer bound onto any single star.
This was a Void Ruler!
“Void Ruler…”
Alexander uttered this foreign term that didn’t mean anything to him a day ago as he was contemplative.
What even lay ahead of this?
After one assimilated with a single Covenant of Nature, what then?
He didn’t know.
Not at this moment.
So for now, he would make it his goal to assimilate as many Covenants of Nature as he could.
But for now, there were many things to understand about this current transformation as too many areas of himself had advanced!
