"I'm not sure yet. Apart from this one, the other two rewards are quite special. I need to recover first and test them before I can fully understand their effects."
Hearing Shea and Mia's inquiries, Ethan Wells withdrew his consciousness from his mind. After briefly explaining the situation, he retrieved the Gravity Ring from the three rewards and took it out from his Storage Space.
"Special?!"
"Is this a Gravity Ring?"
Shea and Mia were slightly startled, their faces filled with surprise. At the same time, their eyes were drawn to the Gravity Ring in Ethan's hand.
Naturally, the two women were familiar with Gravity Rings. During daily training, Ethan often lent them the rings to use during their breaks.
"Yes, this is one of the rewards. You can use it directly for training from now on!" Ethan smiled and handed the Gravity Ring to the two women.
Gravity Rings can be stacked.
In other words, using two Gravity Rings together can achieve up to 20 times the gravity.
But for now, Ethan's body could only handle a single Gravity Ring.
In the training space created by the Hundredfold Training Card, he had endured ten times gravity through extreme compression exercises. However, this was only possible due to the training space's special properties, which prevented physical harm.
Outside of that space, Ethan's daily training could only sustain five times gravity at most, ensuring no hidden damage to his body.
Therefore, until he obtained another Hundredfold Training Card, the newly acquired Gravity Ring was better suited for Shea and Mia.
Even though neither of them specialized in Enhancer Nen, physical conditioning was a crucial part of their strength.
Especially since Shea and Mia were Devil Fruit users.
Devil Fruit abilities consume stamina, making physical endurance even more essential. A strong body meant greater endurance in battle.
With their close bond, there was no need for politeness. Shea and Mia gladly accepted the Gravity Ring.
As for the other two rewards, Gatomon and the Cell Development Card, Ethan chose to wait until his body had fully recovered before accepting them.
The Gatomon reward required testing in battle to gauge its full capabilities.
The Cell Development Card needed to be used when his body was in optimal condition.
Unlocking 100% of his cellular potential was a massive enhancement, one that Ethan wanted to handle carefully. There was no room for error.
Recovery and Training
With sufficient supplies, Ethan and his companions had nothing to worry about. They continued their recovery and training, even while airborne.
Thanks to his Thread Fruit abilities, Ethan's injuries healed quickly.
After several days of rest and training, Ethan was back at full strength. His stamina and Nen had recovered completely, and the stored energy in his Yin Seal was once again at full capacity.
"Mia, open the Gate Fruit space. Let's go inside to claim the rewards!"
Now that he was at peak condition, Ethan wasted no time. He turned to Mia, ready to claim the rewards that had been waiting for days.
"Alright!" Mia responded eagerly, clapping her hands together. "Dimensional Door!"
A green portal appeared before them.
Without hesitation, Ethan stepped through first, with Shea and Mia following closely behind.
Inside the Gate Fruit space, Mia manipulated her ability, allowing them to float effortlessly as if walking on solid ground.
Ethan took a brief look around before shifting his focus inward. He directed his consciousness toward his rewards and selected Gatomon.
Summoning Gatomon
Whoosh!
Since Gatomon was a living entity, it did not go into Storage Space upon summoning. Instead, it appeared directly in front of Ethan.
A small, cat-like creature materialized. It had large expressive eyes, pointed ears, and snow-white fur. Its sharp-clawed gloves gave it a slightly fierce appearance.
However, unlike an ordinary cat, it stood upright like a human, its face showing an intelligent and slightly confused expression.
"Meow~ What is this place? Oh! You must be my master?!"
The small feline tilted its head in confusion, then suddenly brightened up as it locked eyes with Ethan. With a happy leap, it jumped straight into his arms.
"It really is the Digimon, Gatomon!"
Ethan immediately recognized the creature. His childhood memories flashed through his mind, confirming his earlier guess.
When Gatomon leaped into his arms, Ethan didn't dodge or show any wariness. Instead, he instinctively wrapped his arms around it.
This wasn't blind trust. When he accepted the reward, he had felt a special connection forming between them.
Just as Gatomon instantly recognized him as its master, Ethan could also sense their bond. This connection went beyond mere ownership—it allowed him to instinctively understand Gatomon's condition and even control its life and death if necessary.
"So cute!"
"A talking cat?! Is this some kind of magical beast?"
Shea and Mia's eyes lit up with excitement as they watched Gatomon appear.
When they saw it snuggle happily into Ethan's arms, their curiosity grew even stronger. They quickly approached, eager to interact with it.
"Huh?!"
Shea reached out to pet Gatomon's head, but the Digimon reacted instantly. With lightning-fast reflexes, it dodged the incoming hand and jumped up from Ethan's embrace.
With an effortless motion, it landed gracefully on Ethan's shoulder.
"Master, who are these two humans? Are they enemies?" Gatomon asked, eyeing Shea and Mia warily.
It raised its clawed gloves, adopting a combat stance.
The sharp, metallic claws gleamed in the light, proving they were not just for decoration.
