Chapter 240: The First Empyrean

Eva was quiet for a while as she digested his words, she knew her Creator was trusting her with the secrets of his heart, and she intended to ruminate on them.

Seeing her appearance, Rowan smiled, but he could not resist throwing one last dig in, "Wait. Are you angry not just because I deceived Tree Boy here, but also because you believed my words to him, right?"

Eva rolled her eyes and began muttering something under her breath, but Rowan could catch a bit, "—lying piece of…" he did not bother trying to figure out the rest of the words.

He grinned and turned away, focusing on the Rune he held in his hand, the time was now. He said the word with as much gravitas as he could place in it, "REALITY!!"

Rowan's body exploded.

Luckily for him, his Palace of Ice was spared from the backlash of handling the Chaotic Rune and his body returned as if time was reversing and in twelve seconds he was whole again.
