The stabilized stars hovered in Alex's inner world, motionless for the first time. The hardest part was done, but now came the next crucial step—forming the connection.
Alex, just like Sophie, knew how painful it was supposed to be.
It was said that everyone who had stepped into the star-formation realm had a certain level of pain tolerance just because of this process.

Connecting them took focus and concentration—something Alex didn't have to worry about since he had already doused two concentration potions.
His mana burned as he pulled strands of mana from two stars next to each other, trying to combine them.
It was a process of increasing the collective mana.
