Chapter 9: Nexus
Jin closed his eyes and focused.
He could feel the presence of the black meteorite—an object of immeasurable power.
His fingers rested upon the stone, and he began to meditate, initiating a long and delicate process.
This meditation was a method of connecting his mind to his Nexus, clarifying and balancing the corrupted energy flowing within him.
The words that soon came to mind were simple, yet powerful :
"Gather, unify, purify."
This was the process of purification—of control.
Jin channeled his dark energy toward his heart, focusing on the brilliance of that corrupted force, spiraling through every fiber of his being.
It was a pranayama process—a spiritual control of breath. He allowed his mind to ascend, cutting off distractions, seeking to harmonize the chaos within his soul.
