Konrad waved his hand, pulling Sakra's mortal soul toward him to examine it in its entirety. At first, he believed Sakra to be like him, the reincarnation of a past member of the Empyrean. After all, there was only one person Regretless could possibly pass down the Shifting Void Step to:
Highest Dragon's reincarnation.
However, he soon dismissed that thought. If he were, Regretless wouldn't merely teach him the Shifting Void Step or grant him a Firmament Fruit. He would put him on the highest pedestal and grant him all of the Firmament's resources. With such conditions, Sakra would already be a peak-stage Primordial God. This treatment seemed more like an unofficial disciple's grooming.
And indeed, as he examined Sakra's soul, Konrad couldn't find anything peculiar. But as he lost interest, and readied to stop the browsing, he stumbled on something hidden so deep that only the mortal, collapsing state of Sakra's soul allowed it to shimmer.
