Clearly, this first path was a no-go for Rowan. Primordials, Death, Evil, and more negative forces had made Limbo their paradise, and he was not willing to test himself against their endless hunger... at least, not like this.
"What had happened in the past that led to this madness? Did no one see the future and understand that the hunger of the Primordials would lead everything to its end?"
For Rowan, the answer was obvious, unlike other Realities that would have to expel any ninth-dimensional entity inside them since they could not handle the drain of holding an entity of this power; he was different.
What would happen if he reached the ninth-dimensional level? Would his Ether be transformed into pure Origin Essence?
Even if it didn’t, Rowan knew his energy stores would transcend the limitations of Ether into something much more powerful.
However, that was not his primary concern; the ascension of Telmus was not just to gain a Primordial by his side, it was also to observe the process by which an entity would reach the ninth-dimensional level.
Rowan was satisfied that he had all it took to easily reach the ninth dimension, except for one crucial aspect. Unlike Telmus, who had rooted his concept of Defiant Ascension inside Rowan’s Reality, Rowan was inside the dead Reality of Eosah and had no place to lay down his foundations.
Without the presence of Rowan, Telmus would be unable to ascend without entering Limbo, this was one essential step that could not be skipped, how could he be able to break this barrier?
What other path was there before him that he could have taken?
It was not as if Rowan could not get stronger without reaching the ninth-dimensional level. His limitless trait meant that with every passing moment, he was getting stronger.
His consciousness was endlessly upgrading every single technique he knew, refining and fusing them together, and Rowan had long exceeded anything and anyone inside Eosah’s Reality.
Primordial Soul, Chaos, Demon, and Time... Rowan had matched them at their best, and he had broken them all while he was still at the eighth-dimensional level, and he was still growing stronger.
His Attributes were increasing constantly; a single Eos in any attribute represents the technical limit of a Reality. Still, Rowan’s attributes were growing, and he estimated that even if he did not reach the ninth-dimensional level, his attributes would grow to the extent where he would be able to tear his enemies to pieces by the strength of his "flesh" alone.
He could spend every single moment he had growing the power of his attributes, but the end was coming, and the enemies were banging at a falling gate.
The plan of Eosah to strengthen her walls would only give Rowan a single second to react when it collapsed; it was not enough to hold back the Primordials.
