Liora's transformation was relatively slow.
Although each crash of the waves would let their transcendent nature be engraved upon her dragon form, the process was bound to take a lot of time.
It would take months, if not years, for the transformation to be completed.
Fortunately, Liora was in a strange position.
She could absolutely afford to waste this time.
Not because she faced no danger in the Cosmic Universe and had time to waste, but because of the River of Time's peculiar nature.
While within it—or near it—the flow of time was different.
Even if she spent centuries near the River of Time, merely a moment would have passed in reality, much less a few years.
Therefore, Liora suppressed her urge to immediately leave the river.
Maintaining her majestic dragon form, she remained embedded within the River of Time, like an unmoving stone.
She closed her eyes, allowing the waves to wash over her.
Little by little, her scales became increasingly illusory.
