Finally stopping at three thousand feet long, they had all finally exceeded the length of the tallest man-made structures in his previous life, and this was only the beginning of their growth.
Rowan could still ascend to the Rift State, and the Incarnation State, and then to the Second Great Circle, and with each step he took, the Ouroboros Serpents would continue to grow. .
But, something was wrong, Rowan was no longer in the driving seat, and his bloodline eruption had forcibly driven his conscious mind under, leaving only its primal urges to reign supreme.
These urges disregarded the concepts of limit or control, it only reveled in its omnipotence.
The Golden glow from Rowan’s body represented his unending vitality that he was burning, yet he was still holding back, with a dull sound like a world catching on fire, Rowan’s body began to grow, and the glow increased a hundredfold.
He became a hundred feet tall. This was his true size at the Legendary State, not the seven feet body he used as Rowan Kuranes.
His Ouroboros Serpent closed their eyes, and bowed their colossal heads to him, and like the touch of a loving father, his light spread and covered their bodies. It began staining their bodies with gold, and they began forcibly to expand once more …
4,000 feet (1.22 kilometers)…
8,000 feet (2.44 kilometers)…
15,000 feet (4.57 kilometers)…
100,000 feet (30.48 km)…
500,000 feet (152.4 km)…
1,000,000 feet (304.8 km)…
Rowan had never truly understood the true scale of his power.
Somehow, their growth was not ending. It was never ending. They represented infinity, a concept that should never have a physical embodiment. Yet, they were all that… and more!
Rowan’s infinite vitality was now shown to have a truly terrifying consequence, he could grow his serpent beyond any normal limits.
They slowly opened their mouths once more, they were going to…
Rowan felt the primordial Record vibrate inside his chest, and a wave of red light carrying complicated runes covered his body.
The runes shrouded the skies, and rapidly covered the entire planet, for a while, every single being on this world paused, even time itself went still, and like a retreating tide, the red runes returned to their origin.
Rowan’s consciousness faded to darkness.
He awoke a short while later on his back with a nasty headache that quickly faded away, so quickly he thought it might have been a mirage.
He was inside a deep crater that was left of the mountain he had resided in order to break the curse. Furthermore, he felt a deep sense of fatigue that surprised him, but that too was slowly fading away, and was replaced with the familiar endless energy from his body.
His memories were still clear until he began tearing away the curse from his body. Was the process so difficult it knocked him out?
Around him was a scene of devastation, as he climbed to his feet and with a burst of his will, he drew clothes from his Spatial bracelet and covered his body.
That was when he felt the black book vibrate inside his body and he went rigid, collapsing boneless to the ground.
He felt a Spiritual Connection With the Primordial Record, and it showed him the future. A future it had averted for a little while ago. It came in a flood of red light that reassembled into runes that penetrated his consciousness, for what it showed him was something that only his Empyrean Soul could comprehend.
The runes took him back to a time and space that the Primordial Record had sliced off and stored onto one of its pages. This was a hidden functionality of the Black Book that Rowan should not have any access to, until far into the future, but the Primordial Record deemed whatever happened consequential enough that it opened this feature in advance.
Although it meant there was a price to pay. He would no longer be able to access and use the power of that page for the next Era.
Rowan did not know what that span of time meant or signified, but he guessed it must be an extremely long amount of time.
His heart was worried as he let the vision that the runes showed him take over his consciousness.
His vision opened to an apocalyptic scene, that felt incomprehensible until he pieced together what he saw.
Rowan saw himself—A being made from Divine Gold and piercing light, he stood at least a hundred feet tall and the might that he gave off was making the surrounding space collapse. This world was a minor world, and it could not hold the might of an Empyrean for long.
His hands were outstretched, and he gave out boundless light that was funneled into his Ouroboros Serpent, and their growth was explosive and seemingly unending.
He saw them growing larger, until they defied all concepts of any living organism, and when they became 20,000 miles (ca. 32,187 kilometers), their length encompassed the entire planet.
There were six Ouroboros Serpents, each of them could wrap around the planet, their combined bulk placed the planet into darkness and everyone below the second Great Circle went mad. Every single mortal perished, and the world itself began to die.
In the span of a few short minutes, only a few beings were left behind. Rowan saw a massive dragon that was more than a hundred thousand feet long, it was clearly one of the spawn of his flesh. How was it possible that it could grow so powerful in such a short time?
Another figure he saw was a massive demon that reminded him of Ohrox, the Demon prince, but this one was more bestial as it walked on four legs, he saw dozens of other figures all over the planet, but the most surprising was of Circe and her ward Rico.
The awfully dressed man had transformed into a creature of ice and lightning, and it’s created a barrier shielding Circe. Every survivor was striving hard just to exist under the influence of his unleashed bloodline.
Yet, it was all for naught, as with a single inhalation, his Ouroboros Serpent tore the planet apart, massive land mass the size of continents, entire oceans and mountains were drawn into six opened voids, and were summarily devoured.
Jarkarr and all its inhabitants were no more.
Rowan watched in a daze, as countless lives turned to Souls, and he was fed till the brim. The energy from devouring the entire planet was barely enough to satisfy the requirement of his Legendary Skill, and his Serpents turned to the moons.
There were three moons in the skies, and the Ouroboros Serpents struck across space and with an opened mouth filled with needle sharp teeth a million feet long, they tore the moon to pieces and swallowed it.
Rowan saw the moon bleeding for only an instant before it was swallowed up.
As they devoured the moons, his Legendary Ability was completed, and he used the Momentum to Ascend to the Rift State, he was now able to access his Aether on a deeper level, and he began to grow larger until he was a thousand feet tall.
After his Ouroboros, Serpents became more than 50,000 miles (ca. 80,467 kilometers) long and he had grown numb.
Rowan barely paused before breaking through the Rift State in a matter of seconds and Ascending to the Incarnation State. What should be Notable was his Serpent’s growth was now even faster.
By now they were more than 100,000 miles (ca. 160,934 kilometers) long, and they were beginning to set their sights towards the Sun.
The Soul points he had gathered from devouring the entire planet and the mysterious creature inside the moon were in the tens of millions, for he had also devoured the soul of the world itself.
He reached the Incarnation Level and his body began to grow further, and he stopped at five thousand feet tall, but he had no barriers to his ascension, and he still kept growing as the Soul Points began feeding his Incarnation.
