The boy shot towards the heavens and began his transformation. Unlike other golden giants that grew dozens of feet tall, his stature did not grow past the eleven-foot mark, gigantic by mortal standards but still relatively small. However, he was undoubtedly the most powerful Golden Giant, having unlocked five points in his star, and born with nine Natal Treasure.
Also, his transformation did not give him the suit of armor-like look of the golden giants, instead his own was organic, appearing like a well-sculpted man-made from gold, with thin armor covering parts of his body that seamlessly melded with his golden skin, even his long white hair had turned gold, and his eyes like Lost were black and empty.
The Lost Flames shivered when it saw the empty eyes, "So, you have been touched by death too. I told you, our crazy matches."
The boy huffed and stepped on the air pushing his speeds higher as he seemed to transform into a rising golden star, his brilliance blazed out of him with no sign that he was holding anything back,
"Yeah, I don't think you should be doing that. The plan was to..."
The golden giant reached the threshold and he slammed his way through, the barrier holding him back for the barest of moments before it separated and he slipped through it.
"ALL YOU ASCENDANT SCUM! COME FOR ME!!!"
".... Enter silently and draw their attention so we can run."
The golden giant growled, "I am not running."
"Oh," Lost said, "Are you sure about that? I don't know about you, but that is a lot of bodies."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As powerful as he was, his soul was not related to Time, and so it was ripped to pieces in that instant, eliminating Rowan's greatest obstacle, because if the Ascendant Sun was still alive after Rowan opened his perception to reality, it could have easily taken control of him.
With outside threats bearing down on them, the remaining two Ascendant Suns could not risk pushing their souls into the infinity bubble and requested lower Ascendants to search through it, as they dealt with threats on the outside and waited for the right moment to strike.
Every higher-level continent had dispatched all their Ascendants to scour every inch of this land, this was a massive undertaking, but over millions of years, the power of the Ascendants had grown and when they unleashed their full might, it was something truly horrific. Before the golden giant was a small part of that army. One that comprises billions of ships, and an unknown amount of Explorers and Ascendant powers, all geared for war and carrying weapons of mass destruction.
His announcement of the challenge shot through the ranks. Billions of ships that had been heading in the direction of Rowan's city began to turn towards the voice.
"Are you sure about this battle?" Lost queried, "There are some truly powerful Aura I am sensing among their rank."
The Golden Giant grinned, "If your crazy matches my crazy, then you should know the answer to that question."
The flaming bracelet floated off the wrist of the giant and assumed the form of Lost as a seven years old boy,
"Ah, fuck it, we have already died before, nothing new here."
He took to the air and hovered behind the golden giant, "You shall be the spear and I your shield, fight to your heart's content, for unless I fall, nothing shall touch you."
The golden giant laughed, "I will only need your help at the beginning, but when it gets too much for you, then you should fall back, for my battle only begins when it starts to hurt!"
The back of the giant rippled and his Natal Treasure appeared. Nine massive golden serpents whose tails were connected to his spine. They rose and spread around his back like the feather of a peacock, before settling around him, and for a moment it was as if he had gained nine extra tentacles before the serpents unexpectedly transformed into blades, which connected to his spine made him take the shape of a spider.
"So you still got a bit of your mother inside you after all," Lost muttered.
