Tower of Heaven

The conflict Atlas hoped to enter became meaningless.

In his mind, he saw a collection of dark energy strands flowing into and through his body. They flowed through his soul and were sucked into the black hole.

The energy that came out of that interaction didn't become the same pure qi that existed in the outside world. Rather than a nice azure blue color, it remained a grayish-black hue.

It felt almost normal, but when Atlas tried to get in contact with it…

An inexplicable sensation coursed through his nerves. His eyes shot open, and immediately, his body lowered into a fighting stance.

He retreated several steps back until he hit a wall, looking at the being that appeared in front of him.

Rather, he was looking at the environment that had come to surround him without his knowledge.

[You pulled an interesting one into your realm this time, didn't you?]
