Chapter 530 Counter-Strike
Rowan's question was abrupt and Eva seemed confused for a while before her eyes lit up in understanding.
When Rowan revealed his Silver Grade Berserker Intent, with her knowledge about all of Rowan's abilities, she could instantly comprehend the plans he just come up with, it was bold and daring, and subverted all the plans she had laid down for this war, but this was his sort of style, Eva mused inside, 'his adaptability is frightening!'
"Of course," Eva replied, "But if you are planning to do what I think you are intending to do, we should be quick,"
Nodding towards the frozen god, Eva continued working, "Your Territory is the antithesis of life, the god will not last for long, nor will this Divine Palace."
Rowan knew she was telling the truth, not only was the god dying from the attack he just used but the entire Divine Palace was beginning to break, as massive portions of it were collapsing, his Angels were running around keeping it in one piece, the concentrated beam of his Primordial Sea of Darkness he shot out to freeze the god would soon destroy the palace.
Although it would seem like Rowan had released a minor amount of his Aether, he had made sure to concentrate as much of it as possible in his eyes. Manipulating his Aether like this was getting more familiar to him, as his Knowledge Well was refining his techniques at every moment.
Rowan muttered quietly to himself, "Well, time to get this war on its way then, it's been long enough."
Rowan summoned his Ouroboros Serpents, and like phantoms they entered into the ice holding the god captive and surrounded him, each of them opened their mouths wide, anticipating the feast ahead, as the eyes of the Murrihm, the Star Gazer slowly widened in panic.

It had not taken long for Rowan and Eva to come up with a plan, it was still rough around the edges, but it was the best they could do, given the limited information they had, and they could as well be too late and a host of angry and scared gods were barreling towards them at this very moment, but Rowan had to take this step to make sure the pieces he had on the board were in the best position.
The great war to consume the Cerulean Galaxy had begun!
Rowan nodded at his Serpents that had been salivating all these while, "Leave the head behind, savor your meal, it is to be, the first of many."
He did not have to repeat himself twice, with violence only an Ouroboros Serpent was capable of, their six heads descended on the god, and they ripped him into pieces, each bite taking a large mouthful from his body as they gulped down his Divine Flesh, even though it should not be physically possible, Murrihm, The Star Gazer was screaming.
The pain from being devoured alive by the Ouroboros Serpents could not be comprehended by a mortal mind. Their fangs carried venom that did not just melt the bodies of their targets whether it was divine or mundane, it also had the capability of inflicting massive amounts of pain, either to the living or dead.
The gruesome feast was all over in less than a minute, longer than Rowan was expecting, but his Serpents were in a cranky mood and they ate the god slowly, Rowan did not even blink at this brutal sight, his six hearts were now colder than the void.
They threw the head of Murrihm at him and he observed the features of the god frozen in pain.
The face of the god slowly loosened, freed from the ice, and his pain-filled eyes turned to Rowan.
Murrihm could barely mouth words of hate before his face was covered by one of Rowan's large hands, the eyes of the god widened and his mouth opened to scream but it was filled with bloody maggots in their millions, they covered his entire head, and began to chew, devouring the head of the god inch by inch.
Murrihm screamed, and his cries of pain could be heard for millions of miles, even surpassing the threshold of the Divine Place, and the Angels did well to shield the Mortals with their wings of fire, or else they would all perish from his agonized cries.
In a while nothing was left of the god and Rowan took a step back and closed his eyes, his brows furrowed as if in intense concentration, and he stayed like that for a few minutes before he sighed.
His gamble was futile, and he had lost the trace of the god, he turned to Eva, "Prepare for the second stage of the war, we don't… wait, something is different, I can see him!"
Rowan grinned as a bright blue light surrounded him, it was so dense it was almost like a river of bluish water, and he vanished from sight.
Eva looked at the place where Rowan once stood and she sighed at his impatience, she waited and looked to the skies while twiddling her thumbs, and when her body was covered by the blue light of Astrolabe, she smiled.

Murrihm, The Star Gazer opened his eyes which were filled with stars inside his Divine Kingdom, and he shuddered as he collapsed to his knees, his face was still squeezed in memory of the agony that assailed him.
He had spent a few minutes afraid of reconfiguring his body once again, for the pain had been total, like nothing he had ever experienced before.
Murrihm felt his stomach roil, and a feeling of intense disgust covered his consciousness and he began to dry heave so violently he began vomiting blood, this continued for a while until he vomited enough blood to fill up a small pool, and his fingers and legs were soaked with blood.
Tears and snot filled his face, and he almost began another fresh wave of vomiting when he saw dancing inside the pool of blood were thousands of maggots.
A silent voice entered his ears and he leaped up startled, "I was wondering if I had lost you for a minute there, turned out I just gave you PTSD. How disappointing."
Murrihm, looked around his Divine Kingdom and he could find no one, but he recognized the voice, it came from the Devil he had been investigating for the last few weeks, but where was he? How could he breach his Divine Kingdom?
