The deity's skull helmet somehow conveyed amusement despite having no face.
"Ready to make it official?" Death asked, his voice carrying less theatrical flair than before. This was business, not performance.
"Yes," Jack replied.
Death raised one gauntleted hand, and the air shimmered with power that made reality itself seem thin. A system interface materialized before Jack, larger and more elaborate than normal notifications:
[Floor 3: Ice Oasis - Seal Available]
[Cost: 150,000 Death Tokens]
[Warning: Sealing is irreversible.]
[YES] or [NO]
Jack selected yes without hesitation.
[Purchase confirmed: 150,000 Death Tokens spent]
[Current Death Tokens: 44,842,250]
[Floor 3: SEALED]
The change was profound.
Power flooded through the throne room, spreading outward in a wave that encompassed the entire floor. The ambient temperature stabilized, no longer fluctuating with proximity to heat sources.
