Kent blinked a few times, staring at the messages hovering before his eyes.
For a moment, he thought he was dreaming. However, that turned out to be false, as he could still feel the pain of losing his Chaos Heart. The hole in his chest is still there, and most importantly, he still cannot feel his other cores.
This meant he wasn’t dreaming, and the messages were indeed real.
’But how? What happened to Tower?’ he asked inwardly.
The next moment, a response appeared, causing his eyes to widen.
">
’Oh, so that is how it works, huh? I suppose that can be managed. After all, Tower is Tier 3 while you are only Tier 1.’
Kent sighed in relief, knowing that with Tower around, he had nothing to fear.
While she couldn’t help him as she could back when she was Tier 3, he knew that with her around, things wouldn’t bee too boring.
"Tower, tell me where I am and explain my condition in a clear and more vivid way. Basically, I want to know how screwed I am since I can’t feel any of my cores."
"Then can you contact my wives and tell them I am okay?" Kent asked, clearly worried that his wives would go after the Blood Ancestor. If they did, there would be a disaster he couldn’t even imagine.
">
Kent sighed in relief.
The last thing he wanted was for his wives to get into trouble because of him. They were too precious for him to take for granted.
Thankfully, he knew Tower was right. He had told them to stay put and had even instructed Tower to keep them safe, since he knew she could exist in multiple places at once.
Now, he could focus on himself.
"Tower, how fast can I form the Chaos Heart, and what resources do you have for me?"
">
Kent smiled, knowing Tower always went above and beyond for him.
She had anticipated that he would be in danger, so she had made a decision—one that would now save his life.
"Talk about the Soul Sea. What else remains useful there? Without my Chaos Heart, I cannot access it, so tell me, Tower."
">
That explained everything to Kent.
He had wondered why he was still injured, given that Lady Kenzie was basically his overpowered healer.
Even when he fought Meiko, the injuries he sustained should have taken a week to heal. However, with Lady Kenzie’s overwhelming healing abilities, she had used Meiko’s energy to heal him in mere minutes.
"Before forming the Chaos Heart, can you tell me how I can get out of here, this realm I mean?" Kent asked, but Tower’s response was discouraging.
">
Kent smiled and nodded.
He sat down in a lotus position and closed his eyes.
A few seconds later, he opened them again, grabbed one of the five items hovering before him, and swallowed it.
A few seconds later, he swallowed the second, then the third, fourth, and finally the fifth before closing his eyes once more.
Moments later, waves of Chaos Qi began to pour out of his body, filling the room.
Kent had already formed a Chaos Heart once before, so he had already endured the unbearable pain that acpanied its creation. As a result, the reformation process progressed smoothly without him feeling any disfort.
In no time, the foundation of the Chaos Heart began to take shape.

Meanwhile, inside a massive hall where humanoids, each easily over three meters tall, sat on enormous chairs, their expressions were filled with intrigue and shock as they watched Kent through a projection.
Most of them possessed horns, while a few had metallic skin and heavily muscular arms and legs.
Only two of them were much shorter—that is, if two meters could even be considered short—and far more human-looking than the others.
Surprisingly, the pair, a man and a woman, also happened to be the strongest, judging by the overwhelming aura radiating from them.
"Interesting. I never thought the day would e when I would witness someone form a Chaos Heart by themselves," the woman muttered, a smile spreading across her face.
The others around her smiled as well.
"Where did you find him again?" she asked, turning to one of the giants with purple metallic skin and a muscular physique powerful enough to crush even a Peak Celestial with a single punch.
"I found him near the border. He fell out of a portal that looked eerily similar to the one described in the history books. At first, I thought he was dead, but when I got closer, I sensed an unusually refined aura ing from him. So I brought him back for you to decide what to do with him.
If he proves useful, we can recruit him for that mission. If he turns out to be trash, throwing him out won’t be a problem," the man said...
"Well, you can remove ’throwing him out’ from our plans. Someone capable of forming a Chaos Heart by themselves is perhaps the talent we need right now.
Let’s wait until he is finished. Then we can question him and see whether he is willing to join us. If not, we can send him to that place, where death is certain."
