Fury was not arrogant when it came to matters of battle, and at the first sign that Rowan was a dangerous opponent, he had unleashed his Incarnation.
This was among the primary responses from Fury when he began to consider an opponent a worthy challenge. This was bad news for Rowan.
Rowan was amazed by the reaction of Fury, and he instantly took his estimation of this man to a higher level, the reason he could easily kill Dorian was his inherent arrogance, but Fury was a thousand times stronger than Dorian but the moment he felt that Rowan had a slight chance of killing him, he immediately retaliated with powerful moves, disregarding their differences in power.
Fury's voice brought about a wave of heat and light that was now slowly piercing through the Divine Kingdom and reaching outside to the planet, it destroyed the rain of blood and ash and Jarkarr began to burn, as the part nearest to the Divine Kingdom which was the third continent Krakow began to disintegrate, making Jarkarr resemble an orange with a part of it sliced off.
There was no way this planet would be able to take this amount of heat for long before it was destroyed. The many faces began to speak,
"I can crush Third Circle Dominators, and I have battled the Fourth Great Circle, and this is the first time I have been exposed to danger by someone below my Realm."
"There is a first time for everything, I suppose." Rowan said as he smiled at Fury, "hey, I left something behind, why don't you check inside you before it…"
A rumble escaped from inside Fury's Incarnation as a black spot began growing inside the sun, it was Rowan purple black Aether that had been upgraded to the peak of the first circle! "…. Explodes!"
The current freezing effect of his Aether was at least seven times more powerful than when it was at the Rift State, and with the amount he had placed inside before escaping was a whooping 563,000 grains of Aether.
Rowan had created seven Berserker Clones and stuffed them with as much Aether as he could hold, it was going to be his third wave of offense and with it, he would have pulled Fury into his rhythm and slowly place him in the position he wanted, but Fury did not make that plan work, and even though the explosion was powerful even freezing thousands of miles of Fury's Incarnation, it ended up a failure.
If it had caused Fury any damage at all, he showed no indication, the tendrils of Rowan Empyrean sense was being destroyed before it could approach the corona of the sun.
The expression on the millions of faces in Fury eyes were surprised, and Rowan was quiet when the faces began laughing, "That was a good offensive effort. When I heard of your bounty, it interested me because I thought to myself: what son of Kuranes would be so bold to venture beyond the realm of the possible, and upset the balance, I had thought you were just a pawn in a game between the gods, a way to satisfy the need for the necessary conflicts. It is well known that to be selected for such a position is a true honor."
"That's me." Rowan said, "Always seeking to make an impression."
"Yes you did that, and more, and I also think you don't understand the full scale of what you have accomplished. You struck me! How were you able to do that? "
"Well, you see, it's not that hard. If you come out of your nine colored eggshells there I can show you again."
Fury laughed and it was a strange sight to see millions of faces laughing and speaking with one voice, "No, that's not what I meant. I am the foremost child of Trion. The world blessed me at my birth to be the seed of its dreams. No one born of the Empire, especially from the Kuranes bloodline, should be able to lay a finger on me without my permission. I am the closest thing to a god you would ever see in flesh, and regardless of all that, you have desecrated my sovereignty with little effort. You don't have the powers of a god, so it leaves only one option, you are no longer of my bloodline"
"Solid deduction, but you missed the part where I did more than place a finger on you, something you guys are always surprised when I do, why is that?"
Rowan was surprised again when it looked as if Fury was considering his words before he spoke, "I suppose tradition? No one expects an ant to be able to lift a mountain, but you did, showing me that tradition could always change."
Fury's gigantic eyes turned to the Ouroboros Serpents, "These are yours I suppose?"
The serpents were busy swallowing the faceless statues around the palace, their mouths were wide open as they concentrated on the statues because they contained more Divine power than any other thing around, Rowan controlled one of them to covertly enter into the Palace while he distracted Fury.
Whatever Fury might want must be inside the Palace and if he could get his hands on them first, it might contain enough energy for Rowan to reach the peak of Incarnation without any issues and break through to the second Great Circle.
Rowan's eyes became confused when he saw the look of desire inside the many faces of Fury and then he detected the anger and rage pouring out from the bodies of his serpents, it made him instantly understand the goal of Fury.
Whatever it was that he had wanted inside the Divine Kingdom was no longer important to him, his gaze had found Rowan's Ouroboros Serpent and that was what he yearned for.
"It's no wonder they call you Fury, I have never known my babies to become this angry towards anyone. Congratulations I suppose."
Fury laughed, "it is no surprise that because of me, they shall understand emotions they have never known, after all, I am Fury."
The way he said his name made Rowan understand there was more to it than just a title, it represented more.
