With the rising of the Suns outside the Dungeon, I was training in a specific area for this inside the Elf village, I noticed that the place was quite empty and I took the opportunity to train my Martial Arts as I used to do.
Slow movements while straining every muscle in the body, concentrating only on breathing and blood circulation, entering a state of automatic meditation.
"Teacher." (Ivan)
"Huh!?" (I)
Sigh
Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder and when I turn around I see Ivan beside me, his body was shaking and I saw many Elves looking at me from afar.
"Calm your Aura and return to normal please, our hosts are getting restless with your Aura." (Ivan)
"..." (I)
It was at this moment that I realized that the top part of my clothes had been ripped to shreds and my body was in its Dragon form, I also realized that my Aura was exploding out with all of its features at the maximum.
I control my Aura by making it go back inside my body, then deactivated the Dragon's Awakening that I didn't even remember activating, then I see the Elves looking at me strangely, especially when the Fairies and Spirits started dancing next to me.
"What happened?" (I)
"I don't know, but I felt your Aura explode all over the place while I was in the tree house and I ran over here where I found these unhappy Elves." (Ivan)
"Your body is spiraling out of control… follow me…" (Elly)
Suddenly the Spirit of the World Tree appears beside me and before I know it I am back at our temporary residence where Elizabeth is sitting reading a book with a cup of tea that is floating beside her.
"You can explain the rest to him, I still have something I need to do." (Elly)
"Thanks, I'll take care of the rest." (Elizabeth)
Their conversation took about 5 seconds before the World Tree Spirit disappeared leaving just me and my sister alone.
"Can you tell me what just happened?" (I)
"Your body is under a lot of pressure and it's spiraling out of control, I thought there would be more time, this usually takes months." (Elizabeth)
"But I don't feel anything, what pressure are you talking about?" (I)
"Also, as my body is losing control, I feel great." (I)
"Woke up full of energy despite the few hours of sleep after our family talk?" (Elizabeth)
"Yeah, what's the big deal about that?" (I)
"Are your energies flowing more quickly and easily through your body?" (Elizabeth)
"Also yeah..." (I)
"Do you feel your senses sharper than normal and do you feel your strange Aura even slightly?" (Elizabeth)
"Yes, now can you tell me what's going on?" (I)
"You created a temporary growth barrier to stop an evolution while me or maybe Caitlyn was inside you." (Elizabeth)
"The problem is that you have become a Barrier to Growth for many people who are already ready to evolve, especially your Family members who have a stronger connection with you." (Elizabeth)
"And to make matters worse me, Natasha, and Caitlyn who are being limited by you are constant pressure until you become a Demigod." (Elizabeth)
It took me a few seconds to analyze everything she said and I got scared, for some reason the only image I could think of was a balloon connected to several air tanks filling up to the limit before exploding.
"Just to clear a doubt, do I run any risk?" (I)
"No, some skills can get out of control just like your Aura, but other than that it would just be a forced Evolution when it reaches the limit, which could do some damage to your Soul." (Elizabeth)
"So I just need to stop being restricted in my growth and Evolve at once, so will this all stop?" (I)
"Yes, but you're going to keep waiting, aren't you?" (Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
"At least until tomorrow, there are things I still need to do today, so then I can let it all happen." (I)
"Then try to stay inside the Dungeon until your Evolution ends." (Elizabeth)
"All good." (I)
------------
Pov Elizabeth:
I make my way to the city of the dead where I find Caitlyn absorbing the miasma, meanwhile, Natasha was watching from the side keeping the Undead at bay.
"You can wait." (I)
I snap my fingers using my holy power to clear all the miasma and destroy all the Undead within a 1 kilometer area.
"Did you really need this!?" (Caitlyn)
"Sorry to interrupt your miasma collection, but it looks like we're going to have to stand guard for 2 days, maybe even longer." (I)
"What happened?" (Natasha)
"Did he lose control?" (Caitlyn)
"Yes, did you notice while you were inside him?" (I)
"Of course, it was impossible not to notice, is he going to Evolve today?" (Caitlyn)
"No, he wants to do it tomorrow, he seems to want to finish something today." (I)
"What are you two talking about?" (Natasha)
"You interrupted my meal so you explain to her, I'll stay close to him, we both know his next evolution is going to be tricky." (Caitlyn)
"All good." (I)

Pov Zenos:
I was inside the Communal Temple waiting for everyone to arrive, so I took the opportunity to go take a look at Zila and Sapphire who were still inside the eggs inside the blood cyclones.
"You guys are taking longer than I expected, I thought it would be faster." (I)
I look at the amount of blood in the pool and realize there's still a lot of it, so I turn to leave before stopping and looking back to feel two faint presences.
"Maybe they won't be so late..." (I)
I go to the place where the statues of the Gods are, I like to always do the Awakening Ceremonies here in the hope that if something goes wrong, one of the Gods who have the Blessing can help me.
I look over and see that the three people are already here.
Eva, the Blood Demon Queen I saved in the Dark Continent.
Athena, the Celestina who fled the Church of Light who became my Granddaughter and will soon become my daughter.
Alice that I bought as a slave years ago and also became my granddaughter, someone marked by hatred and who is now my personal servant alongside Freya who became my assistant.
"Today we are going to put an end to this list, I hate to keep putting things off." (I)
