The Ancestor's new body raised its head. Its red eyes blazed like twin suns of blood. A voice that no longer belonged to any mortal throat emerged, deep and resonant, shaking the air.
"You dared to destroy my children…" it said, the words echoing like roots breaking through stone. "Then I shall show you the true power of Ephemera's Will."
The transformed Ancestor paused, as if drawing the world into a single breath, and then pronounced, "Darkblood Treant Titan Form."
A storm of Qi and Dao insights followed.
The ground trembled with the force of it. From bark and bone the tree-born Titan stepped forward, each motion radiating the oppressive weight of the heavens. Roots dug and unmade the earth beneath its feet. Vines hung and writhed like living chains. The air itself bowed under the presence of the thing.
Lin Mu frowned.
