As Lukas lay unconscious, the surroundings became eerily calm. The air crackled with residual energy, and the room showed the profound change that had occurred.
Hours later, Lukas stirred, his eyelids fluttering as he regained consciousness. He sat up slowly, feeling the weight of his new form. His body felt different, He couldn't lay his finger on which part of him changed.
As he focused more, the surroundings changed. His vision became clearer and sharper.
He gazed at the high pillars, but no one was there. Then he looked at the black altar where the cube was located, and he remembered what happened with Aurora. He looked up and saw a black ball of swirling liquid above him.
Then he looked at the side where the blue bubble was, which confined Aurora. It didn't occur to him that the black liquid had become Aurora. And then he heard Aurora's voice echoing.
[Master, should we proceed to merging?]
