Before it could reach 0 or even 1, Mark did the only sensible thing he could think of - to throw it into his system storage and hope it works.
He waited for the timer to pass, counting down inside his head and then waited for a few more minutes just to make sure it was actually safe. The ticking sound was no longer audible but that did not mean anything for their safety.
His hand still had that burning sensation to it but it was not burned. It didn't even have a mark or anything close to that nature which was not a surprise. If Mark had to compare, he would say that it felt like touching the stabilising core that Kuro had to swallow.
But even that had not felt this dangerous which was a testament to just how much raw power was contained in this stone.
