Seclusion

Souta made the necessary preparations, informing his people that he would be entering seclusion for an indefinite period. He also instructed Kessa to guard him in case of any danger.

Once everything was in place, he headed to the training ground.

Sitting down, Souta closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and entered his inner consciousness.

From this point on, everything depended on him…

When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the physical world. He found himself within his inner consciousness, where a massive sphere of energy loomed in the sky. At its center, a peculiar plant with black-and-white hues pulsed with an enigmatic presence.

Several ethereal strings extended from the sphere, seemingly emerging from nowhere.

Compared to the last time he was here, the plant had grown larger, and the sphere itself was gradually taking on shades of black and white.

This entity represented Souta's [Douion II].
