As Ram's spirit returned to his body from the Wood Spirit Realm, the pain hit him like a tidal wave. Every muscle, bone, and nerve screamed in agony as if his entire body was being ripped apart from the inside.
The Bio Armor, which had been integrated with his body, separated from him without warning, transforming back into Groot.
His chest burned with pain, and within seconds, root-like spiritual lines began to spread all over his body, originating from his heart from where the seed disappeared.
These lines twisted and curled, growing like wildfire under his skin.
His hands instinctively clutched at his chest, his fingers trembling as his body spasmed uncontrollably. Foam spilled from his mouth as the pain intensified beyond anything he had ever felt.
The pain was so severe, it locked him in silence. He couldn't scream, couldn't move—he could only endure.
