After talking with Ichigo, Ren sat in the bathtub and let the hot water seep deep into his body.
"I wish to gain something useful to protect my family," Ren muttered as he stared at the golden cube in his hands and lightly pressed it, causing it to turn into dust. This was a treasure chest he had obtained when he saw Ichigo become a Shinigami.
[ Ding! Congratulations on opening an S+ Rank Treasure Chest and obtaining: Rikugan (Six Eyes) ]
As soon as the system notification appeared, Ren felt a chill in his eyes as a cold energy radiated from them, spreading throughout his body and soul.
Ren could feel his faint spiritual power becoming purer and more focused, his senses sharpening, and he felt he could control every particle of energy in his body without missing a thing.
Ren slowly opened his eyes to discover that the world around him was no longer the same.
The colors... the light... even the ripples of water around his body—all had become unnaturally clear, as if everything had slowed down, detailed, as if the world was presenting itself to him with absolute sincerity.

Ren stared at the system's description, feeling that his analytical ability was thousands of times better than before. It was as if his mind had become a giant computer able to analyze and comprehend everything around him. However, he also felt uneasy because his brain still did not have enough capacity to process all this information at once.
Although his mental power was stronger than people his age, it was quickly drained by the Six Eyes, and he lost consciousness while soaking in the bathtub. Even the Energy talent had no effect like mental power; Energy talent could convert spiritual power or reiatsu into magical power, ki, chi, etc.
But spiritual power should not be confused with Soul power, as the two are completely different. Spiritual/Spirit power is a type of energy that you can use in your soul form, while Soul power, as it suggests, is the strength or durability of the Soul itself.
Although he lost consciousness, he did not drown or anything like that, as his head rested on the edge of the bathtub while his body was submerged in water.
As for his awareness? It was somewhere else entirely. With the Six Eyes, his latent abilities were activated so that the seal placed on him could no longer restrain his power, which increased further thanks to the Six Eyes.
Ren's Inner World
When Ren opened his eyes, he was in a burning, devastated city, where it seemed the end of the world had come to this city, and there was no sign of any living creature around. In the middle of the city stood one intact thing: a black and red tower tens of meters high.
"Where am I?..." Ren muttered, staring at the chaotic and ruined city with confusion, as he could not recognize the scene at all.
"This is your inner world," a sweet and beautiful voice rang with a hint of malice in Ren's ears, prompting him to look toward the source of the voice.
Before Ren appeared a beautiful girl, about 15 or 16 years old, with beautiful black hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, and a pair of crimson eyes radiating malice and evil.
"Who are you?" Ren asked the beautiful and familiar girl before him with confusion, as seeing her gave him a feeling of comfort and closeness even more than his family.
"I am Yorugami no Mikazuki, the embodiment of your inner power, and if you want strength, just call my name," the beautiful girl said with a smile, staring at Ren but with a hint of sympathy in her gaze.
The girl was a part of Ren's soul, and this was Ren's inner world, a place that responds to Ren's emotions.
The devastated place was proof of Ren's sorrow and anger, as well as the rest of his negative feelings. Although he had calmed down, these negative emotions still existed, and his inner world would not return to normal until his mood improved and these negative feelings completely dissipated.
But Ren did not know this, and Yorugami no Mikazuki had no intention to tell him this, at least not for now.
"Now, it's better for you to rest, as your mental strength is severely exhausted," said Yorugami no Mikazuki as Ren's awareness started to become hazy. "Now that the seal on your power has been lifted, your body, soul, and mind will become much stronger, and you won't suffer from this problem much anymore."
Ren heard Yorugami no Mikazuki's words and wanted to talk to her to get more information, but his awareness became completely hazy, and he disappeared from his inner world.
