"You..."
"You actually separated the tool from yourself completely..."
The voice of the Pillar of Greed was filled with shock like never before.
"For countless years, every god who entered the Abyss Maw saw their Strength and divine weapons as part of their own life."
"The stronger they became, the more they wanted to control. In the end, they all became slaves to their own Strength."
"No one has ever been like you, treating such a terrifying 'Vessel of Infinite Greed' as nothing more than an object outside yourself..."
The huge gray face began to collapse.
"You win."
With that sigh, the gray mist filling the sky vanished in an instant.
A crystal the size of a fist slowly fell from the void.
It was dark gray, yet perfectly clear.
The fourth Crystal of Recognition.
Aiden reached out and caught it steadily.
It felt incredibly heavy in his hand, as if the weight of an entire world was sealed inside it.
"Buzz!"
