Isaac opened his eyes slowly.
He was back. The vision had ended. The memory of Abaddon's past faded, but the feelings remained clear and heavy in his chest.
He had seen Abaddon's rise, his loyalty, and his fall.
Isaac sat alone in the quiet field.
Hopper transformed into a regular locust and perched on his shoulder.
Then the voice came. Calm. Deep. Familiar.
'You feel it now, don't you?'
Isaac didn't answer.
But he knew what the voice meant.
'My power flows through you,' Abaddon said. 'But power alone does not make you strong.'
The system chime rang in his vision.
[Dark Energy Potential: 100% (Abaddon Core Linked)]
[Lumen Energy Potential: 21% (User Origin: Farmer)]
[Combat Sync Rating: 60.5% Status: Incomplete Balance Detected]
Isaac read the numbers carefully.
"…So that's the truth," Isaac whispered. "Even with the strongest darkness… I'm only half complete."
He clenched his fist. His body didn't hurt, but his spirit did.
