Lex returned to his office, his eyes fixed on the Karmic Bead. Honestly, it had not taken him too long time wise to get the bead, compared to some other things he'd done. Abaddon, for example, took so many years for him to get through, and compared to that the bead didn't take long at all.
Still, it felt like forever. There was no point in continuing the wait any longer. Lex reached out and touched the transparent bead, imbuing a single drop of blood into the bead, and channeling his spiritual energy into it.
Before he could use the bead, he had to bond with it. The blood, and even the spiritual energy, that he fed into the bead was not how he would form the bond, though. Unlike other treasures, such as Naraka, bonding the bead was not done through energy. No, it was done through karma itself.
