The Martial Unity

Rui suppressed the urge to break out of the apotheosis chamber with his newfound power. He wondered if the chamber was built to withstand the kind of power he would unleash when he used Outer Convergence and Flame Breathing.

Even if his current body was out of sync with the Apprentice-level bodies, the sheer amount of power he was capable of unleashing was beyond anything he had ever been capable of in the past. However, he didn't want to damage the property of the Martial Union needlessly, of course. Besides, he did not know if the procedure was medically completed.

He sat put for some time, in the darkness of the apotheosis chamber, until eventually, he heard Doctor Menun's voice through the fluid.

"Squire Quarrier." She addressed him. "I'm pleased to inform you that the procedure has been completed. Congratulations."

Suddenly, the liquid in the apotheosis began draining. His body slowly lowered as he eventually hit the base.

The breathing masks detached from his face as they retreated back into the hatch they came from.

Soon, the top of the apotheosis chamber opened. Rui squinted in pain as the light from the outside blinded him. Having spent a long time in pure darkness, the sudden exposure to light was overwhelming. Thankfully, his other senses were sharp enough to allow him to perceive his environment. He perceived the team of medical staff that had been overseeing his procedure.

"Squire Quarrier." Doctor Menun approached him. "How do you feel?"

"Amazing," Rui replied, before frowning.

His body had changed so much that even talking felt incredibly strange.
