Rowan concentrated and gently wrapped one drop of Vorpal Essence that had broken away and was flying around due to the massive momentum of the swirling maelstrom. He finished analyzing its properties in less than three seconds and his golden eyes were filled with excitement.
Vorpal Essence was very pliable and was able to mimic the materials it came in contact with. This was a very rare and valuable property and when he looked below at the swirling maelstrom, he nearly laughed and cried at the same time, there was so much of it here, nearly thirty billion tonnes of this metal, and Dao Ma had used it as a glorified shield over his Divine Palace.
Although he could not fault the god, he did the best he could with the knowledge and resources he had. This was also an ingenious method of using this treasure but it was also incredibly shortsighted. When Dao Ma placed all this metal inside his swamp, it took the properties of his Divine Kingdom and became very dense and heavy and when he made the Vorpal Essence begin spinning, he created a dense heavy shield over his Divine Palace that had practically the weight of a black hole.
Rowan Ouroboros Serpents could devour this entire Vorpal Essence far quicker than Dao Ma would anticipate, but that would be a stupendous waste of this treasure. His Serpents would only transform it into energy, and whatever uniqueness it holds would be wasted.
He would rather feed the entire Divine Kingdom to his Serpents than allow them to consume this treasure, already he could anticipate all the uses he could make out of it.
Utilizing this treasure in its current state was not ideal and he would have to take them away from this place, luckily Rowan had a much better tool to handle this problem. He opened his hand and levitated the head of Dao Ma beside him.
The head of the god began to chuckle, “You are stuck here for the time being, the reverberation of our battle was shielded by whatever Formation you created, but every emergence of the Eternal Flower leaves traces in reality, traces that other gods can sense and follow, and if you want to kill me, you would not be able to escape in time,” Dao Ma laughed, “They would soon come looking, and although you’re powerful, you will fall when the might of all the gods in this galaxy falls on you.”
Rowan smiled, “You have lived too long Dao Ma, and your imagination is limited, I bested you while I’m still technically a Mortal, and you still lecture me about the impossible?”
“hahaha…. You would battle against all the gods? I regret that I will not see you suffer and die a wretched death in their hands.”
Rowan ignored the god, his end was approaching and his emotions were nothing but abnormal. His hands were now free and Rowan brought both of his hands up in the air, and he closed his eyes. Inside his Mental Space, he linked the three Chambers together, Knowledge Well, Astrolabe, and Hollow Forge.
His Chambers began to shift position inside his Mental Space, as he began to truly use these Chambers as they were meant to be used, and perhaps even more than they were intended, for each of his chambers was more massive and powerful than when they were just contained inside his Palace of Ice.
Hollow Forge became the foundation and rested on the surface of the Primordial Sea of Darkness, it resembled a slumbering volcano spewing out white smoke.
Floating a few miles above it was Knowledge Well which resembled a large lidless eye surrounded by massive golden pillars that were thirty-seven in number.
All except for one held the moving images of Ouroboros Serpents, the only one that was different among them had the face of Rowan embossed on it, his features were regal and his eyes were stern.
Above the Knowledge Well came to rest Astrolabe. It was shaped like a flat disk and it radiated a blue-white light that covered the two chambers below it, and they seemed to be vaguely merging.
Finished with his preparation, Rowan dropped his upraised hands, and with that gesture, a massive blue light with more than forty thousand feet across slammed into the swirling maelstrom.
The rotation of the maelstrom began to slow down, as the Astrolabe when used at full power no longer emitted a milky white light but an intense blue one.
The rotation of the Maelstrom ceased and as if gravity had lost its power, the Vorpal Metal began to rise and vanish inside the blue light, and its movement created massive commotions, as shockwaves and lightning burst out from the Vorpal Essence. The light coming from the Astrolabe was so bright it could be seen from all over the Divine Kingdom.
Dao Ma’s eyes went wide with astonishment as the level of his Vorpal Essence began to disappear as millions of tonnes of this Divine Metal began to vanish.
“What sort of unholy sorcery is this?” the god screamed, “you cannot teleport Vorpal Metal, its properties will make it bleed through space and destabilize the teleportation. How is this possible?”
“It’s simple,” Rowan replied as he was smiling, “I am simply moving it across space.”
Inside his Mental Space, the Vorpal Essence began to rain down like a flood, and Knowledge Well went into operation, weaving all the falling Divine Metal into massive ropes that were fed inside the square portal in Hollow Forge where it was disintegrated and stored.
The blue light stabbed deeper into the depths of the swamp and in a few short seconds it was over leaving traces of blue luminescent light dancing in the air and a fragrance of lemon behind.
There was a massive void in the middle of the swamp and strangely the water at the edge could not fall and fill it up. Dao Ma’s purple face turned a paler shade in fear and astonishment. Rowan smiled and zoomed down into the crater.
Eva looked at the floating head and frowned a bit but she did not descend with Rowan, she only stayed up with the head, as if she was watching over it.
