Raiden guided Lisa and Sylvia toward a special chamber designed to counteract the terrifying effects of magical talent awakening. This advanced facility was hidden underground, directly beneath the magnificent fortress of the Holy Knights' headquarters, far from the outside world. The room felt like another dimension—spacious, sterile, and filled with an aura of almost futuristic technology, yet still cold and mysterious.
The walls were forged from mithril, a rare metal known for its extraordinary conductivity to magical energy. Through the work of the finest magical engineers, these walls were equipped with advanced modules capable of absorbing and dampening unstable magical energy fluctuations, preventing the destruction that could occur during the awakening process. On one side of the room, there was a separate observation chamber separated by high-tech specialized glass, where analysts usually monitored the process from a distance. However, Raiden and Sylvia chose not to be there. They stood directly at Lisa's side, ready to accompany the girl through this crucial moment in her life.
A female Holy Knight with short brown hair styled in a Korean bob approached Raiden. With respectful demeanor, she handed over a silver-plated briefcase that looked elegant yet filled with mysterious aura. "Young Master, this highest grade awakening serum is ready for use anytime. Its quality and safety have been clinically tested," she said in a gentle yet firm tone, displaying high professionalism.
Raiden nodded briefly, his expression remaining impassive. "Good work. Return to your position," he commanded in a neutral voice, without the slightest excessive emotion.
The woman bowed deeply as a sign of respect, then turned and left the area with quick steps, leaving Raiden, Lisa, and Sylvia in tense silence.
Raiden turned his attention to Lisa. The girl stood with a face full of worry, her eyes reflecting the uncertainty gripping her heart. With a warm smile he rarely showed, Raiden tried to reassure her. "Don't worry, Lisa. You'll be fine. I'm here with you."
Lisa looked at Raiden, then nodded with determination blazing in her eyes. "I understand, Young Master. Lisa will do her best in this awakening process so as not to disappoint you!" she exclaimed while clenching her right fist in an adorable way, as if wanting to prove her courage despite her heart still being filled with doubt.
Unlike orthodox awakening methods that were filled with pain and horrific side effects from forcing the body beyond human limits, the process Lisa would undergo was far more humane. Thanks to advanced technology developed by the best scientists, her magical talent awakening was designed to be efficient and comfortable, minimizing the risks that usually lurked.
Several scientists in typical white professor attire approached Lisa, carrying various high-tech devices that looked alien yet radiated an aura of reliability. One of the most eye-catching devices was a shiny black helmet integrated with advanced modules. This helmet was designed to connect with the user's brain frequency, enhancing information processing capabilities up to millions of times faster than normal humans. Additionally, various sensors were attached to Lisa's body to monitor any possible anomalies during the process.
After all devices were perfectly installed, Lisa sat on a soft bed specially designed for maximum comfort. Raiden opened the silver briefcase, took out the awakening serum that glowed faintly in a small glass tube, then handed it to Lisa. Without hesitation, the girl downed the liquid in one gulp, then lay down calmly, waiting for what would happen.
Just seconds after the serum entered her body, Lisa felt waves of mysterious power flowing through her. The energy surged relentlessly, as if ready to explode and destroy everything around it. Her breathing became faster, and her eyes tightly closed as she tried to control the alien sensation taking over her body.
Suddenly, an explosion of purplish-black energy erupted from Lisa's body, spreading at terrifying speed to every corner of the room. An incredibly strong gravitational pressure accompanied the explosion, making the air feel heavy and suffocating. Sylvia, standing at Raiden's side, was pushed down by this invisible force. "Urghh—this pressure... it's too strong!" she muttered in broken voice, her face paling from the burden hitting her body. Quickly, she manipulated the magical energy within herself to stabilize her balance, creating layered barriers that protected her from this terrible pressure.
Meanwhile, Raiden stood straight without being affected in the slightest. His immortal body, which had been forged through extreme training, could easily withstand such a burden. His eyes were fixed on Lisa, full of curiosity and admiration for what was happening.
Amidst the chaos, Lisa appeared calm. Thanks to the advanced devices attached to her head, the surge of information entering her brain was processed perfectly, without causing the slightest pain. The girl seemed immersed in her own inner world, peacefully accepting the transformation taking place.
But what happened next made even Raiden—known for not being easily surprised—stare in shock. Dozens of small purplish-black orbs appeared in the air, spinning at high speed. These orbs attracted all types of energy and matter around them, compressing them into small cores that looked like micro black holes. Strangely, objects around Lisa, including the devices attached to her, were completely unaffected by this terrifying attraction.
"Hmm... are these micro black holes?" muttered Raiden, his eyebrows furrowing with curiosity. He felt deep interest in the rare phenomenon occurring before him.
But the surprises weren't over. The purplish-black orbs suddenly changed to brilliant white, then released the matter and energy they had absorbed in a high-speed explosion. The power released was so great, as if capable of destroying anything in its path. As the matter and energy were about to hit the mithril walls, a space-time ripple emerged from the abnormal gravitational distortion. The ripple formed a purplish-black portal, swallowing all released matter and energy, then vanishing them to an unknown dimension.
"Holy shit... aren't these White Holes and Wormholes? Concepts that should only be theory!" exclaimed Raiden, his voice mixed between shock and admiration. Without wasting time, he activated *Ethereal Sight*, a special ability that transformed his iris into a bright luminescence with a silver octagram star symbol in the center. Through this ability, he could see information invisible to ordinary eyes.
"Singularity?!" Raiden's eyes widened as the data displayed before him revealed the shocking truth. "And what the hell is this about an innate *Energy Conversion* skill?" he muttered, narrowing his eyes in interest.
Euphoria bubbled in Raiden's chest. He never expected to find such a treasure—a young girl with singularity power capable of devouring a planet, now standing before him, and officially becoming his. This fact made his body tremble with excitement, his heart beating fast at the prospect of unlimited future.
Several minutes later, the terrifying phenomenon ended. The micro black holes, White Holes, and Wormholes disappeared from the air as if they never existed. The choking gravitational pressure gradually subsided until it completely vanished. At the same time, Lisa slowly opened her eyes. A faint purplish-black light radiated from her pupils, carrying a mysterious aura that couldn't be explained.
Raiden smiled widely, his gaze full of satisfaction. "Congratulations, Lisa. Your awakening is complete... and the results have far exceeded anyone's expectations."
