Akshobhya's eyes jerked open, his face filled with a look of utter disbelief. 

Due to the sudden changes, his connection with the cubic crystals broke. This made him cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Akshobhya?!" Kurtis couldn't believe what he was seeing. The great Akshobhya was sweating and coughing up blood!?

"What just happened?" Akshobhya thought of the sudden changes in the world of blue.

Just a minute ago, within a span of a few seconds, Zed's consciousness was forcefully pulled back. When Akshobhya tried to bring him back, he realized the power of Zed's consciousness had exploded multifold!

Even as he tried to contemplate the changes, the next instant, he was no longer able to track the source of Zed. This resulted in a backlash, and his consciousness returned back to his body.
