Marvel's master of cosmic magic-Chapter 815

Rowan Mercer refined his strategy.

If his prime body could no longer create incarnations directly, then each existing incarnation would take on that role themselves.

Not true copies.

Not fully independent beings.

But countless lightweight exploratory constructs.

They did not need great power.

They needed numbers.

The void between cosmologies was vast beyond comprehension.

Only by flooding it with scouts could Rowan map danger zones, locate other incarnations, and establish safe routes.

Once positions were confirmed, once hazards were charted, the incarnations would converge.

And then—

Fusion.

Those same scouts would serve another purpose.

They would slip into newly discovered worlds.

Observe.

Learn.

Catalog unfamiliar laws.

Expand Rowan’s multiversal framework.

Since the prime body could no longer open paths to new universes, expansion now depended entirely on active exploration.

In truth, this was healthier.

Rowan had relied too long on a gifted ability he never truly owned.

If that power could be sealed...

Then self-sufficiency was mandatory.

During the search for other incarnations, any scout that discovered a new universe would transmit coordinates and quietly infiltrate.

If the universe had a creator, its disposition would be tested.

If friendly, dialogue.

If hostile, elimination.

If the universe lacked a creator, it would be absorbed without hesitation.

If resistance proved overwhelming, the incarnation would retreat, grow stronger elsewhere, and return later.

With Rowan now firmly multiversal, such cases were expected to be rare.

One exception remained.

The colossal cosmology tied to Aethernox.

That domain required patience.

Beyond that, most creators fell within acceptable risk parameters.

A final long-term pillar of the plan involved deep exploration of that immense cosmology.

If the incarnation stationed there ever reached the uppermost tier of existence within that structure, then all other incarnations would mirror that leap.

And once fusion occurred...

The prime body’s strength would reach unimaginable heights.

Breaking the Living Tribunal’s seal would become trivial.

Ambitious?

Yes.

Impossible?

No.

Plans set, the incarnations moved.

In the Fairy Tail continuum, Rowan’s incarnation devoured four interconnected universes in rapid succession.

His internal multiversal structure expanded from two worlds to six.

A six-world multiversal entity.

In the Harry Potter continuum, another incarnation absorbed the auxiliary universe gifted by its creator.

That incarnation rose to seven internal worlds.

True to his word, Rowan then helped that creator repair its damaged essence.

Rowan did not prey on friendly creators.

Even now.

Power did not grant moral license.

More importantly, Rowan understood his own weakness.

His growth was explosive. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

But explosive growth bred instability.

Creators who had climbed step by step over eons possessed something he lacked.

Foundation.

Their insights tempered his ascent.

Stabilized it.

Strengthened it.

In the Academy City continuum, Rowan crushed every demon and rogue god.

No creator remained.

Perhaps none had existed for ages.

The world drifted in the void, ownerless.

Rowan absorbed it.

Eight internal worlds.

In the Cardcaptor continuum, Rowan reached beyond the local multiverse and encountered its creator.

Mokona.

A friendly multiversal architect who had forged over a dozen universes.

They exchanged knowledge.

Theory.

Cosmic architecture.

No battle.

Only growth.

The TYPE-MOON cosmology proved hostile.

Fate.

Tsukihime.

Countless branching timelines.

Its creator controlled roughly ten internal universes.

When Rowan appeared, the being attempted to devour him.

Rowan answered with annihilation.

The battle tore through the void.

Though Rowan possessed only eight internal worlds at the time, his personal combat power matched multiversal entities.

He wielded layered systems of magic drawn from countless realities.

The opponent collapsed.

Ten universes were absorbed.

Rowan’s total jumped from eight to eighteen.

In the League of Legends continuum, Rowan encountered Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger.

A cosmic dragon once enslaved by higher beings.

Rowan helped him shatter those chains.

Aurelion Sol reclaimed his authority.

Though the League continuum was technically a single universe, its internal density rivaled a ten-world multiverse.

In gratitude, Aurelion Sol shared his complete knowledge base.

And relinquished half of his world’s core essence.

Rowan’s eighteen universes did not increase in number.

But each grew vastly denser.

Stronger.

More resilient.

In practical terms, Rowan’s eighteen-world structure now rivaled multiversal entities with twenty-five or more worlds.

The Elder Scrolls continuum came next.

A realm where many so-called demon princes each ruled private pocket universes.

Its original creator had long vanished.

Rowan did not devour the entire structure.

Several divine entities within were cooperative.

Others were not.

Rowan exterminated twelve hostile demon princes.

Twelve universes were absorbed.

His total reached thirty.

Thirty internal universes.

Not ordinary ones.

Each reinforced by layered cosmologies and hybrid laws.

Rowan Mercer had become a multiversal existence of exceptional density.

And the rescue of his prime body moved from distant hope...

To approaching inevitability.
