Chapter 725: The Vault
Chapter 725 The Vault
The challenge Rowan faced when it came to Boreas could be roughly summarized in these three sections, which were the Shell of the Divine Kingdom, the internals of the Divine Kingdom itself, and finally the Divine Spark. In order to kill Boreas without alerting any of the other gods, he would need to counter all the advantages the god’s Divine Kingdom gave to them.
The key to the first problem would be Circe. Rowan knew that it would be nearly impossible for him to find the location of Boreas’s Divine Kingdom in a stealthy manner.
It could be anywhere, not even necessarily on Trion, in a head-on battle, he would have only needed to kill Boreas a single time for him to trace the essence of the god when he resurrected inside his Divine Kingdom and use Astrolabe to deliver him into his stronghold, but Rowan would be using the ascension of Circe to bypass that first hurdle, the Shell.
As he had feared, getting through to the Shell was not simple, because he had come across a very strange fact that had nearly killed Circe and destabilized his plans: the Divine Kingdom of Boreas did not have a shell!
This should be impossible, like seeing a mortal live without his skin. This was sheer madness but he was witnessing it with his eyes. He hated his father for a lot of things, but not for the breadth of his ambitions.
This fact alone meant that Rowan could not easily kill the gods of Trion if he wanted to, because destroying the physical shell of a god was useless, only destroying their Divine Spark would kill them.
So how would he kill this god when after destroying his shell, he was not able to locate his Divine Kingdom because, by all measures, it was non-existent?
Rowan’s method of assassination had turned out to be the right choice. He would have failed to kill the gods of Trion if he had attacked head-on, instead, he would have revealed his hand and only butchered the mortals, also he could feel that whatever was going on, he was only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
When Circe began her ascension, her body did not reconstitute itself inside the divine Kingdom, that would have happened if there was a shell, instead, her body appeared inside nothingness.
That was the only word Rowan could describe this place at first before he took it measure and understood a bit about what this place was.
