"Killing you?" Rowan said, "Yes... I would gladly kill you as many times as you return, but this would be the last time. I don't have a habit of keeping a viper in my room."
The Third Prince smiled, but something in his expression was different and Rowan knew that he was gone and it was the Eye that had taken his place, if everything went according to plan, or even if he failed, this would be the last time he would see the face of his hated enemy, and Rowan was glad for it.
"I would have worn this face earlier, if I knew how much it would affect you." the Eye of Time said as he began to walk towards Rowan, "The experience of the dead tells me to always expect the unexpected from you. I should have listened more closely."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The distance that separated them was hundreds of miles, but that was nothing, Rowan watched the shell of the Third Prince walking closer and growled,
"Let's finish this," and he began walking towards the Eye of Time, on his index finger, the Sin Weapon Wrath in the shape of a lion headed beast began to glow bright red.
As they grew closer, Rowan closed his eyes, since the moment he gained his soul, this was the first time he would be entering a true battle, and he wanted to feel it.
There was so much mysteries behind the utilization of power, especially those of the higher dimension, and Rowan knew that no matter how much power he wielded in this present dimensional state he found himself, he was still a far cry from matching the Eye of Time. He could never hope to match it with using conventional tactics, but what their last few encounters had taught him was that he had unique tools that even the Eye of Time could not match, and he needed to lean towards his own strengths, one of which was his dimensional soul.
He was happy that he could hold a sword and challenge fate, and prove to all of reality, that they could not fuck with him!
With a roar that shook the heavens, the ring on his finger transformed into a giant lion-like beast with a mane of flowing gold and the tail of a serpent. Nearly eight feet tall, and weighing a ridiculous number, the beast of Wrath stalked beside Rowan, and it's dreadful eyes settled on the Eye of Time, the fragment of a Primordial, and in its heart, it knew there could not be a more worthy prey, and it's bond with Rowan transformed beyond servitude to unadulterated adoration, and it was ready to die for it's master if it was needed.
The memory of a distant battle where it was vanquished banished by the light of its new master. It was silent, but the heavens themselves rumbled with its roar.
Rowan figure unexpectedly split in two, one continued walking forward and the other stood in place, and the figure that was walking forward also split in two, and with every step that he was taking, he left another one of himself behind, and by the time he was a mile away from the Eye, he had left 32,999 split bodies behind.
The beast of Wrath was walking with the lead figure and had no idea what had been happening, but when it looked back on a whim, the eyes of the beast widened when it noticed that there were tens of thousands of itself standing still beside those figure, and it could sense an equal amount of its power in all the bodies of those beasts.
"One of me overturned the firmament, a thousand of me, would crush all existence, tens of thousands of me would rule everything!"
The rumble in the heavens from all the roars of the beasts of wrath was beginning to shake the slumbering eyes of heaven, and the spell of the Eye of Time was breaking to pieces as the degradation of the hag that held the heavens under her spell quickened.
This was the realization of Rowan's new application of his Time Stack powers. It was limited in a manner, but for certain situations, he could unleash unmatched power with it. To fight against the Eye of Time, the least amount of power he could bring to the table had to be considered unmatched in reality.
