Once finished, El returned to carrying Seitenshi, her body now spotlessly clean. She led the young woman out of the bathroom, entering a spacious room with luxurious decorations.
Silently, El laid Seitenshi down on a large bed decorated with silky soft sheets.
El looked at Seitenshi's peaceful face, making sure that the woman was comfortable in her sleep. His hands moved gently, pulling the blanket up to cover her fragile body, keeping her warm.
He sighed softly, "I really have no experience dressing a girl this age," he thought. "It's best to just leave her like this, once she wakes up, Seitenshi can dress herself."
After finishing, El moved on to the next step. He bent down, looked at Seitenshi's face, then carefully opened his eyelids. Those beautiful pale blue eyes looked empty, unfocused, as he was still in an unconscious state.
A flame-colored mark appeared on El's neck area as he activated the Demon Slayer Mark. Instantly, his bloodstream felt like magma flowing through his body, pumping out incredible power.
El's STR, VIT, and AGI attributes increased rapidly, each reaching 70%, providing an almost unstoppable surge of power.
"Hypnotic Eyes," he said flatly, voice full of calm but also authority.
The six tomoe inside El's Rinnegan began to spin slowly, emitting a mysterious aura. Along with that, El's body lost consciousness instantly, and she fell, slightly falling on Seitenshi's lying body.
In Seitenshi's inner space, El's consciousness appeared. He stood in the center of nothingness, a dimension without form, decorated only with a faint blue light that encompassed everything. "This is his subconscious," El thought as he surveyed the surroundings. She knew this was a crucial moment.
Rinnegan was still in an active state, with six tomoe in his eyes, a sign that El was continuing to maintain the technique that brought him into the subconscious.
"If I can take her place here, it will be easier. If not, I can at least instill some of my will into her." El said, walking to find the source of her soul in the middle of this vast formless dimension.
This plan was full of risks, but El did not hesitate. He was a man who always utilized every possibility to his advantage.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the room remained quiet. Yuri suddenly appeared at the side of the bed, floating with a meaningful smile. He looked at El and Seitenshi's bodies lying together, then chuckled.
"Hihi... This is going to be very interesting!" muttered Yuri in a mischievous voice, as if he was about to enjoy the drama that was about to be prepared.

El stepped calmly in the center of the infinite dimension that was slowly changing. The dim blue light that adorned the surroundings faded away, replaced by the reflection of clear water that extended as far as the eye could see.
The surface of the water reflected El's figure like a perfect mirror, with white lilies floating gently on it, adding a touch of beauty and tranquility.
In the distance, huge marble pillars towered, like eternal sentinels connecting this world with the bright pale sky. The sky was empty, cloudless, but exuded an indescribable serenity.
The gentle morning breeze touched El's face, bringing a soothing coolness, not piercing but giving a deep respect for the majesty that existed in this place.
There was no sound other than the subtle whisper of the wind and the faint tones of the harp music, creating a perfect harmony.
El's every step did not disturb the water below her, as if this world accepted her presence without resistance.
El paused for a moment, looking up at the sky above the towering pillars. "This world... truly depicts her figure," he murmured in a low but meaningful tone.
This place reflected the stability, gentleness, and hidden strength of the soul that inhabited it.
El continued his steps, focused on finding the core of this world Seitenshi's soul source. Each step felt like a spiritual journey, taking her deeper and deeper into the center of the young woman's consciousness.
"Fortunately, I already understand the concept of Enmu's ability. This ability is very easy for Rinnegan to replicate." El muttered, as she stepped up, "Unfortunately, this technique requires a lot of accumulated stamina before it can be released."
As El said, this technique of entering the subconscious was inspired by Enmu's Blood Art, Sleep Inducement and Dream Manipulation, which El personally thought was very easy to replicate and develop, but needed preparation since it was the first time.
With the Rinnegan constantly spinning, El stepped deeper into Seitenshi's subconscious. Every step was cautious, but in the silence, he felt something different, something purer and more beautiful than his own subconscious.
All around, the panorama of Seitenshi's psyche seemed very calm, a far cry from the destruction that was a part of him.
While walking, El pondered, feeling a little envious of the beauty that still remained in the woman's soul.
"I'm a little envious of her still beautiful soul," he murmured with a hint of sadness in his eyes, as if not wanting to destroy something so fragile and pure.
However, despite the regret, El's purpose was clear. He had to impart his knowledge, and more importantly, manipulate Seitenshi's personality to suit his will.
Finally, after some time, El came before a pale ball of light that gave off a soft blue aura, rotating slowly.
This orb looked like the center of all Seitenshi's soul power, the Spiritual Core. Although it seemed weak, El knew this was the most important point in the change he planned.
With his right hand outstretched, El touched the orb. The moment after, his Rinnegan spun faster, emitting a dark purple aura that flowed out from his body, as if to transform and taint Seitenshi's soul core.
El let out a long sigh, "Even though my heart has cooled down, I don't have the heart to ruin this. Is it because I'm slightly affected by Seitenshi's soul?"
For a moment of thought, now, El's will changed slightly, which was to instill her personality and knowledge into this soul, not to take the place of her original personality.
Infusing personality was more than enough to create something that suited her purpose, even if it meant slightly ruining the existing beauty.
Seitenshi's Spiritual Core slowly changed color, from a soft blue to a dark purple, indicating the El process was complete. The aura of purity around the core slowly blended with Rinnegan's dark presence. El lowered her hand gently, staring at the result of her actions.
"This way, Seitenshi has two personalities. One is mine, and the other is her original personality," El muttered, with a heavy sigh. She glanced around Seitenshi's subconscious one last time, savoring the sight in contrast to the devastation inside her. However, she knew her time was up.
Suddenly, beneath her feet, a large hole opened up, seemingly dragging her back to reality. Without being able to react, El fell into the darkness, his body feeling like it was floating in nothingness.

In the real world, El's unconscious body began to react. His eyelids twitched slowly, and his head felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
The strong sensation of dizziness made him complain softly, "Ugh..." With great effort, he tried to get up from his lying position.
However, the moment his consciousness was fully restored, he gasped. "Huh? Why am I on the bed?" he asked softly while scanning the surroundings.
"This sensation..." he thought. Suddenly, El fell silent. His face turned stiff. "Wait... where are my clothes? What's going on?" To his surprise, El realized that his body was not clothed at all. Her skin felt cold against the sheets.
El noticed the state of the room around his. The room looked dark, relying only on the moonlight from behind the window to dimly illuminate it.
Here, the sheets that had been neatly arranged were now crumpled, with several folds and pull marks clearly visible. Pillows were scattered about, one of which had even fallen to the floor.
A soft yet sharp scent wafted through the air, a mixture of Seitenshi's body scent and a faint distinctive odor, as if a silent witness to something that had just happened in this room.
