Kyle lost himself by listening to his powerful beating heart.
He felt like something magical was happening.
He was supposed to do this.
This was the right thing to do.
The Major Cluster related to his Center reached his heart first, and it was absorbed by it.
BANG!
The beating became even louder, and Kyle could even feel the surrounding atmosphere shake with every beat.
The Major Cluster related to his Core Spark came next.
His heart gained even more power.
At that moment, Kyle felt some pain coming from his heart.
It was completely overloaded with Energy. It wasn't built to withstand so much intensity.
However, Kyle felt no feeling of danger.
The last two Clusters reached his heart almost simultaneously and were absorbed like all the others.
BOOOM!
Kyle's heart released an impossibly powerful beat, and several tears appeared in it.
BOOOM!
Another beat, and the tears grew bigger.
BOOOOOOM!
The strongest beat of all appeared, and Kyle's heart exploded into pieces.
For just an instant, he felt intense pain.
The huge Cluster inside Kyle's heart was now exposed, and it started to shake violently.
Surprisingly, Kyle's heart didn't regrow.
The shaking of the Cluster became more intense.
BANG!
Then, the Cluster also exploded.
As soon as that happened, Kyle felt like he could finally breathe again.
He hadn't even noticed that he had felt like he couldn't breathe before.
As the Cluster exploded, a wild wave of Biological Energy washed over Kyle's entire body.
The wave expanded through his whole body, and when it had reached all parts…
It just ended.
There was no more shaking.
There were no more Energy waves.
Everything was just… normal.
The next moment, his heart started to regrow, but the Cluster that used to be inside of it was nowhere to be seen.
They were gone.
All of Kyle's Clusters were gone.
Seconds of silence passed.
'It feels… strange,' he thought as he felt his body.
Kyle felt like his body had been… equalized. It was very hard to describe.
It was like all of his power was evenly spread across his entire body.
Kyle opened his eyes and looked at his hands.
He clenched his hands into fists, and a moment later, his eyes widened in surprise.
'That was weird!' he thought.
Just now, his fists had clenched so quickly.
It was almost like his hands had reacted before he sent the order.
It was like his body had moved on its own.
Kyle stood up, and as he did, he felt like he was being controlled by someone else.
The next Realm was about the Center, and the one after that was about the mind.
'Those are not my strengths. Maybe things will become easier again as a Spirit Lord.'
Kyle took a deep breath.
'Anyway, time to get back.'
'Also, I should get a reward. As far as I know, the rewards in this trial are not very good, but I should still get something,' he thought as he looked at the corridor leading to the area with the rewards.
As he looked at the distant door at the end of the corridor, images of the trial shot through Kyle's mind.
'I never thought I would see Lindsay again,' he thought with a worried expression. 'Funnily enough, we also ended up divorcing in that reality. She didn't wait a long time to file for divorce. I mean, it wasn't granted since I wasn't deemed sane enough to make important decisions, but she would have probably gotten through with it anyway.'
Kyle sighed. 'I'm so fucking happy that I don't have to meet that crazy bitch again.'
Kyle shook his head. 'Anyway, time for rewards!'
He put his hammer away and entered the corridor.
After a couple of seconds, he reached the big door near the end, and it opened.
Behind the door, Kyle saw a small room with a couple of pedestals, but only one pedestal had an actual object on top of it.
It was a 40-centimeter-long, grey horn.
Kyle looked at the horn as he scratched the side of his head awkwardly.
He could tell that the horn came from a pretty weak beast. The beast was probably still in the Mortal Realm.
Kyle walked over and carefully lifted it.
'No idea why that's my reward.'
Then, he shrugged and put it into his Soul Space.
'Yeah, well, who cares? I'm just going to ask the Chief Overseer later.'
The next moment, the world around Kyle warped, and a second later, he found himself in front of the Natural Trial's entrance.
'And that's that!'
