Not far off, Ethan had already extracted the crystal core from the fifth-generation Cyborg. The core pulsed with a dazzling array of five colors, radiating a deep, potent energy.
Each of these five crystal cores was SS-grade—harvested from elite human warriors listed in The Awakened Files. They were one-of-a-kind, the kind of treasures you'd be lucky to see once in a lifetime.
Ethan was clearly pleased. The only question now was—could they help him break through his current limits?
Just then, the Snowy Owl approached. Its demeanor was respectful, almost reverent. As it slowly spread its wings, a stone tablet slid out from between them.
With its head bowed, the Snowy Owl held the tablet in both hands and offered it up to Ethan like a sacred relic.
Ethan raised his hand and pulled out two more stone tablets.
In an instant, radiant light burst forth. A soft, glowing mist rose into the air, and a strange energy ripple spread outward.
