The moment the battle ended, the world around me quieted. My soul finally felt whole—a strange sensation. I had grown so used to the fragmented feeling, but now, everything was back in place. I felt the soul energy around me swirl and dance, bending and bowing to me as if acknowledging my dominance. It was as if I had become one with the world, enveloped in its energy, and it was magnificent. It felt... right.
"Hahaha! Congratulations, Gaon." The eerie voice slithered into my thoughts once again, but now, after everything I had endured, its words didn't have the same weight. "You are now extremely close to the level where we can challenge the world itself!"
