Chapter 91: Constitution Change And Rewards [1]
****
The all-black expanse shattered into pieces.
In its place, the previous starless void expanse formed back.
Amon found himself sitting on the starless floor again, his eyes widened.
His breaths came out in deep gasps as he stared at the floor.
"Haaa....haaaa...haaa"
His thoughts were scattered and he quickly raised his pale-skinned arms, turning them over continuously.
He touched them over his body, finding them to be solid along with it as well.
It was then that he deeply sighed in relief.
His scattered thoughts finally came to a halt, his expression turning as calm as a lake.
'I'm alive.' He thought for the first time.
'So it wasn't a dream.'
He stared at his body.
Amidst his observation, a pleasant and crisp voice came into his ear.
"Good job!"
His gaze moved up at the familiar voice.
It had been a while since he heard it like this....
And right there, at a certain distance away from him, was the exact same throne he had seen 2 months back.
A beautifully crafted cosmic throne that was adorned with stars.
But just like last time, the person sitting on the throne completely outclassed the beauty of the craft.
She was the center of attraction in this ever-stretching expanse.
Wearing an ebony regal ball gown that cascaded to the floor, her lustrous purple hair adorned with stars draped across her back.

Her capturing amethyst eyes glowed like never-ending voids, that seemed to drown anyone who stared into them.
She elegantly walked down the steps of the throne, walking towards him.
A beautiful smile marred her features as her gaze locked with him.
"Zephyra..." Amon's voice echoed deeply in the void.
"We meet again in person huh, no warm welcome?" She tilted her head, spreading out her
arms.

Not responding to her, Amon stood up from the ground, facing her.
His brows raised by a little as he noticed something.
When he arrived here last time, he was considerably smaller than her in height.
Especially so with those high heels she wore.
But now, her head just slightly higher than her if one excluded her heels.
If he had to estimate, only 1 inch.
'I really improved by a lot huh?' Amon thought.
"Looking at your expression, it seems like the reformation was successful." Her charming voice resounded in his ears.
'Reformation?' He slightly tilted his head.
But it immediately clicked in his head in the next second.
'Oh...that.'
By which he meant the pain he had just experienced and that expanse where he was just minutes ago.
He looked at her and she subtly nodded, affirming his thoughts.
Considering she was the master of this place, she could probably hear his thoughts.
"What was it?" He asked, his tone neutral.
Her expression drooped a little at his question.
"Not even some talk after seeing each other in person after this long?"
She was going to sigh but stopped when he gave her the gaze that seemed to say 'So long? As
if., referencing how much she talked with him in his head.
She raised her hands in submission.
"Well, I can't blame your seriousness after what just happened."
Before he could ask her once again, she raised a finger to stop him and continued.
"Like I said, what you just underwent was your main assimilation."
She waved her hand in the void, making a tea table and two seats rise up from the ground.
She took one seat and gestured to Amon to take the one in front but was surprised when he was already seated even before her.
Her voice halted in her mouth and he gave her the look saying 'What?'
She coughed.
He was quite amused by this exchange. It was nice to break her composure and tease her after what she had done to him.
"Anyways..." She started pouring tea in two cups.
"The main point is, your body constitution was completely reformed. As in, your body
structure and organs." She said, making his eyes widen a little.
"What do you mean and what is the purpose of this?" He asked, even though he already had an inkling of why it had been done.
"It means that your body is now a Void Constitution. You don't have blood in your body anymore. This was a necessary step for you to use [Void]." She answered.
His stoic expression crumbled.
"Wait, no blood in my body anymore?" He asked with shock and she nodded, raising a finger
once more.
A knife appeared next to him and without hesitation, he broke his skin open.
Yes, broke it.
To his surprise, as he plunged the knife into his arm, rather than a normal cut, cracks spread
on his arm.
A barely small hole was created in his skin, through which no blood poured out.
The only thing he noticed was the mana pathways or veins that traveled through his body
now.
He looked back at her with a furious expression.
"Wait! No! My [Blood] ele-" His voice was halted by Zephyra who raised her hand as she took
another sip of her tea.
"Hold your horses, Amon I haven't finished yet."
His rage died down and he clicked his tongue.
"Due to this constitution change, it was the reason why you underwent such pain. Your organs and brain were also restructured to function without blood. This was the reason why you were unable to sense who you were and where you were." She explained further.
"It was why I had to use your sister's voice to remind you of who you were. I couldn't forcibly mess in since your mind was in a really tense condition at the moment." She lightly smiled.
"I see. Why use my sister's voice?" He asked.
"Because she's the closest person to you. And the more emotional weightage a person held, the more easy it was for me to make you remember your identity."
"I see. But what did you mean by 'looking at your expression' and 'can't blame your seriousness' at the start?" He took a sip of his tea.
She nodded.
"It's because your constitution change is the reason why you feel a suppression of emotions
now and also why you have a stoic expression on your face." She answered.
His brows rose up.
It was true. For some reason, ever since he woke up, there was a suppression of his natural
emotions that he felt before.
Such as joy, nervousness, or shyness. He barely felt them.
His head was totally clear right now.
"But don't mistake them for being eradicated. They are just suppressed, but that doesn't
mean they don't exist deep down in you.
Rather, the more time passes, your natural emotions such as anger or fear will start to pile up. Any emotional event that triggers them can be really dangerous for your mental state, especially with how delicate it is right now after the Void Training.
You need to be careful." She warned, setting down her empty cup.
He nodded again without a word.
Then, she stood up with him and smiled lightly.
"Speaking of Void Training, now that we are done with the explanations, let's move toward
your rewards."
Amon nodded.
