The Mystery of '9', New Batch of Recruits?

--

Cedric's consciousness sank into his Inner World...

He observed its ancient and archaic state, feeling an innate closeness to it. A sense of omnipotence gushed over him, yet he knew that this feeling was just an illusion presented by his sole ownership of this place.

The dark golden fog of Chaos Energy tossed and turned; each movement carried an overwhelming force that could destroy worlds and realms. It's like a sea, active and brimming with life and potential.

Looking closely, there are a few new additions to this place compared to its initial appearance. Now, this field of dark golden fog emits a brilliance even stronger than before, somewhat displaying its vitality and activity. Colors also started appearing here and there; they're faint as of now, but they're definitely there.
