Meanwhile, on the stage time seemed to have paused, even for the Lords and Aria. In this frozen time, a pillar of purple light descended from deep within the Universe as it landed on Aria. Just as the purple light of Vital Force was about to land on Aria, a beam of golden light bashed against it, scattering it into motes. Each of them was an ancient character that swirled around his body.
After an unknown duration that was an instant, the motes of purple ancient characters entered Aria's body and merged with his blood. With this, time resumed once again as everything seemed to be the same for others but for Aria it was something different.
His consciousness was blasted apart from the ocean as he suddenly opened his eyes, taking a deep breath.
