The moment the crystalline barrier around the table shattered, the collar fell to the ground, and I was set free to take whatever I desired, I had become the absolute BEST, the STRONGEST, and the MIGHTIEST version of myself.
The moment the table turned, I became a version free of haste, hesitation, guilt, or second-guessing.
I could feel the giant's power pulsing through me, yet instead of overwhelming me or evading my cells, unable to find a path inside this weak body and mind, it nurtured me like the most delicious meal before focusing—channeling—into one purpose alone: kill the monster, which had dared to confront WHAT WAS MINE.
I watched his figure in fascination as he teleported and evaded, as he tried to find a solution when the solution had been he himself all along.
I met shell-shocked, intense blue eyes across what would soon become a battlefield, across the daring monster's legs, and I couldn't hold back anymore.
I motioned the monster to me.
