"How did we not notice these two outliers? These idiots managed to mutate!" Hiraku cursed, crushing his heavy, thick armrest with a little display of force.

"Sun Demos noticed the mutated Dragys scouts early enough," Mika pointed out, which earned him a deadly glare from all sides, "I...was just saying..."

The others shook their heads and continued the meeting.

"We cannot rely on Michael for this. He hasn't been here for a year, and if my gut feeling is not wrong, it will take another year or two before he comes back. Even if we cannot defeat the Dragys, we can use everything at our disposal to stall for some time," Lilica said, her fingers tapping anxiously on the table.

"Are you just saying we must do something, or do you have a plan?" Caesus asked straightforwardly.

Tiara scrunched her nose and looked at her brother as if he would drop dead in the next ten minutes. If not, she would kill him in ten minutes. Master Tigris appeared next to Tiara and lightly tapped her shoulder while Hiraku said.

"I won't allow anyone to attack each other today. Whoever attacks someone is going to be thrown out of the meeting. Michael gave me the necessary authority. That means whoever disregards my opinion and command indirectly disregards our Lord's command. Once thrown out, I won't let you into the war meetings until Michael returns. You won't have any rights to decide on ANYTHING." Hiraku didn't look at Tiara, but it was obvious that the comment was directed at her. The Silverfang Princess was the only Awakened present who was prone to attacking other council members.

The war meeting ended after a few hours, but nobody was fully satisfied. Except for Michael, who watched and listened to everything from the Heart's Choice trial. Tiara and Caesus were a bit troublesome – mostly Tiara and her attitude toward her brother – but that was still fine. Hiraku and the rest dealt with the matter well. They realized it would be difficult to deal with the Dragys on their own and chose to use the monsters of the Untamed Jungle to their advantage. Michael couldn't tell how many High Beasts, or Divine Beasts, would listen to their offers and how many would attack them right away, but he was optimistic.

'I can stay a little longer in this place. If I'm strong enough to fight the Dragys head-on, everything will be fine.' Michael told himself while willing Fenrir and Jormungandr to continue using their Perfect Soul Techniques.

Since Michael completed the Energy Vortex, he didn't even have to use Rune Vortex to absorb the surrounding energy. Instead, he focused on his surroundings and the living images before him. The images were imprinted deep into his mind, and he continued observing everything intently.

'I want to help them. I need to do something.' That thought flashed through his mind over and over again. It filled Michael's entire being and fueled him. It gave him the strength he needed to continue. To keep going.

Unbeknownst to Michael, something stirred deep underwater. It was massive, yet not even the Beast God Curses noticed it.

All Michael could tell was that the greenish trace of energy caressing his heart was growing. It grew in intensity and potency and began shrouding Michael's heart before...creating the frames of a second heart.

Michael could tell that his body was absorbing a tremendous amount of energy, even without Fenrir and Jormungandr doing anything, but he misinterpreted the situation first. He was certain the Energy Vortex absorbed the surrounding energy, but that wasn't the case.

The greenish energy mass in his chest absorbed the energy...and stirred whatever rested deep inside the seemingly infinite expanse of water.
