Inside the vast expanse of August's spiritual sea, the massive golden serpent coiled around the small green cloud that represented August's spiritual form. Its movements were graceful and silent, not causing a single sound or ripple and it enveloped him in a protective embrace. The atmosphere was imbued with an aura of tranquility yet there was an unknown tension.
August had not arrived in this world alone; he had brought with him a remarkable entity—Rhea. Initially perceived as an advanced AI chip embedded within his soul, Rhea possessed extraordinary capabilities: unparalleled data storage and analysis, acute energy scanning and perception, and advanced spiritual energy manipulation. She was even endowed with mystical affinity-strengthening and amplifying abilities. To August, Rhea was the ultimate treasure, a true "goldfinger" that he had longed for—a blessing from a mystical existence beyond his comprehension.
