The black flame poured out of the crystal with not a single lick of flame remaining inside. The entire crystal orb was empty now, floating separately from the flame.
'The flame is the spirit and the crystal is the soul, right?' Alex thought. One would have to merge with the Origin, while the other would have to merge with Midnight.
Alex could feel Midnight within the black flame, so he wasn't quite worried.
Just then, the crystal orb began vibrating with a weird rhythm.
Alex expected that to be Godslayer's doing, to start the merging process, and didn't think much of it. However, something entirely else happened.
Reality itself shook around the crystal orb with the same frequency as what the orb was vibrating with. Then, a moment later, there was a tear in the space of his Spiritual Sea.
Or at least that was what it looked like. Alex tried to peer through the split, but he could see nothing through it even though the tear opened wide.
