FLUOSH!
Suddenly, a dark sphere materialized.
It was a Nightmare Soul Heart.
Maria channeled her magic to summon night, blanketing the sky in darkness and forcing the world into an artificial evening of her own making.
"I will forge my own path… I don't need your blessings, Heaven!"
FLAAASH!
Maria aligned all ten spheres in the false night sky.
Ten stars formed a constellation—an imitation of something distant in the true heavens.
She moved her hands swiftly, forming hand seals that represented the constellation she had created.
If no existing Cultivation Method suited her…
She would invent her own.
"The First Star, Eyes."
"The Second Star, Ears."
"The Third Star, Nose."
"The Fourth Star, Mouth."
"The Fifth Star, Head."
"The Sixth Star, Arms."
"The Seventh Star, Torso."
"The Eighth Star, Legs."
"The Ninth Star… Heart."
"The Tenth Star… Soul."
The stars aligned into the silhouette of a woman—Maria from her past life.
