After the deal was made, Zero instructed Alex to strip naked, leaving only his underwear on, and climb into the crystal pod at the center of the room.
Alex did as he was told while attempting to calm his mind from all the excitement that tingled within him from the moment he had stepped out of his house a few hours ago.
Alex was eager to see the enhancements awaiting him after the Rank promotion, and knowing he would awaken his elemental physique only added to his excitement.
Alx stood inside the pod, his eyes set on Zero, waiting for him to start the process, but without the man lifting a finger, holes started to form as the glass shifted aside, giving way to the crystalline tubes that moved forward like having a life of their own.
The crystalline tubes started releasing transparent viscous liquid with a blue sheen to it into the pod, and the moment the liquid made contact with Alex, it seeped into his skin and made him feel a rush of vitality.
