Rowan placed the pieces of Time away as he muttered, "Keep your pride for you don't understand the meaning of the word. Nothing of your nature is worthwhile."
The Eye of Time chuckled, "You wield Aetherium, but it is not yours but from this realm, to do such a thing without a medium should be poison, but somehow you can wield it without any drawbacks. I should not be amazed after all this time with you, but I am."
Rowan's body jerked forward and he looked down to see a tentacle had somehow impaled him from the back, pain and a weird chill filled his soul, and with a growl of anger his body fuzzed at the edges and he vanished, reappearing at another spot and he fell to one of his knees.
From his chest spewed an enormous volume of Ascendant energy and he tried to weave shut the hole in his body,
"That ability of yours to predict danger is rather impressive, but I have seen the likes before, and to deceive it is rather simple if you know..."
Rowan felt no danger, but he had fought long enough to know that staying in a single position in a battle of this nature was death, and that paid off as several tentacles emerging from the chaos missed him, but he was not fast enough and several tears sliced through his Ascendant body, and he loosed an arm during several tense few moments where he should not have survived but he clawed his way out of.
The Eye of Time knowing its advantage did not hold back, it tore through several of Rowan's attempts to retaliate, not giving him the chance to heal his wounds and at that moment, Rowan's body glowed as brightly as a blue sun as the Ascendant Aura he contained poured out in ever-increasing volumes that soon caught up to his natural rate of regeneration and surpassed it.
It was inevitable that he would stumble, his Ascendant body had taken too much damage too quickly, and coupled with the fact that it took nearly all his attention to understand the reality around him. A swipe from a tentacle nearly tore him in two, and another took out both of his legs from the knee, before he could reorient himself, dozens of thin tentacles like spears pierced through his body and he was hoisted up like an animal on a spit.
What he said was disjointed, but the Eye of Time froze as its mind rapidly put together the clues before him and it looked upwards where the chaos of this place was torn open as two bright suns badged into the area, their glow a force of order that twisted the darkness into a form with meaning.
The Eye looked above and he grinned, "I was tearing you apart yet you still had the presence of mind to use your dispersed Ascendant energy as a beacon to call the Ascendant Suns of this realm? I see now, it's not just your powers that make you special, it is that weird mind of yours, Rowan, I need it, I want all of you."
The Eye of Time rushed towards Rowan, its body beginning to disassemble as the process to take possession of Rowan's soul began but two bright beams of light from the Ascendant Suns above slammed into their position with all the fury of the realm.
Despite his present state that was devoid of any Ascendant Aura, Rowan's body was still the perfect vehicle for Ascendant energy, and when the full power of two Seventh-Dimensional Ascendants slammed down on him, the only reason for his survival was his Ascendant body's extreme resistance to Aura and the fact that he could process the energy, yet his body began to shatter so quickly that he soon lost all his limbs and what was left was rapidly shrinking.
The Eye of Time shrieked with rage, another second and it would have possessed Rowan's soul, bringing this fight to a dimension that it held the utmost advantage.
The damages from the Ascendant Suns were meaningless to it for the most part, but they were destroying its mortal shell that was allowing it to display a fraction of its powers and their interference had destroyed Rowan's body so quickly that the tentacles that it had thrust inside of it, no longer had any target to hold on to.
Knowing that the body of Rowan was durable enough to have lasted under the onslaught but that he must have used this opportunity to break free, the Eye of Time roared in rage, and it knew that in order to finish its work in peace, it would need to end the threat of Ascendancy from this realm.
It pushed forward with its tentacles but now another set of tentacles came from below, as the two Ascendant Suns unleashed the Kraken, channeled by the entire might of Ascendancy in the realm.
The resultant explosion pushed the broken husk of Rowan's body to the side, and whether by chance or design ripped him away from this space of chaos and into the realm of Doom Star and he found himself hundreds of miles in the air, and falling towards the ocean below.
