"Brother, what is going on?" Hanna asked as soon as she opened her eyes. "Before I lost consciousness, it felt like the heavens were blessing me, but now, all I feel is dread. It's like they want to kill me," she added.
"Well, they're jealous of the Heavenly Constitution you're awakening, so they want to stop you," Klaus replied with a weak smile.
"What?" Hanna's heartbeat slowed. "That's unfair. They can't do that."
"I know, right?" Klaus nodded before adding, "But don't worry. When I'm done with them, they won't dare look at my Big Sister."
"Okay, brother. What do you want me to do?" Hanna immediately trusted Klaus.
"Not much. All you have to do is endure, and I'll take care of the rest," Klaus said, watching the huge diagram as it began to spin slowly.
Although Klaus knew Hanna trusted him, even if he told her he had killed her by destroying her original constitution and transplanting a one-of-a-kind constitution to defy the heavens, she wouldn't be angry.
However, Klaus doesn't want to make her worry, partly because he doesn't want to explain too much. Even if Hanna is one of the Star Lights he's been seeking for many generations, it's still too early for a heart-to-heart.
First, she doesn't know anything yet, and Klaus plans to keep it that way. He won't tell her more than necessary about her constitution. Just as the senior never wanted to reveal too much to him to prevent his Karma from accumulating, he will do the same for Hanna.
Even though she will awaken the 10,000 Divine Lightning Bodies, she won't be able to use them until she becomes a Sage. Constitutions and physiques typically awaken at that stage, although it's more common from the Great Sage level onward.
Once they form a Sage core, they can tap into their unique Constitution and physiques to enhance their strength. Of course, the fortunate ones will even awaken their bloodlines, further amplifying their power.
However, as Klaus began sealing it, most of the effects associated with this constitution remained, and some of those changes began to manifest as Hanna sat before Klaus, who had started chanting something strange.
Her body began emitting powerful lightning fluctuations that seemed to cocoon her. Klaus, on the other hand, continued chanting, not even bothering to look at the enormous diagram now forming lightning balls.
Suddenly, a powerful fluctuation swept across the area as a lightning ball from the diagram, crackling with electricity, descended toward Klaus and Hanna. They sat motionless, trusting each other completely. Hanna's trust in Klaus was unwavering.
She showed no sigh of panicking. Not even the slightest.
Just when the ball was within a few meters, the diagram beneath Klaus and Hanna emitted a faint star qi, rising to meet the lightning ball. The ball instantly dissipated, transforming into a stream of energy that flowed directly into Klaus.
As it entered his body, a powerful surge of energy burst out from him.
"This is going to hurt, sister," Klaus said, and before Hanna could react, he took hold of both her hands. Instantly, a painful cry erupted from her mouth.
"Endure and let the lightning pass through you. It will be over in a minute," Klaus said.
The diagram, sensing that Hanna had begun to awaken the heavenly constitution, decided to send down more lightning, but it was all in vain. Klaus never stopped chanting as each ball fell. For the past five minutes, Hanna continued to endure.
Then, suddenly, something happened that made Klaus smile.
"Finally." He smiled, "The rest is up to your body, sister. Go ahead and undergo your transformation," Klaus said as he pressed his finger to her forehead and muttered something.
Hanna's body literally exploded into sparks of lightning that flew and entered Klaus's body.
However, instead of panicking, Klaus simply sat there, forming hand seals. Inwardly, though, he was worried.
'I swear, if this doesn't work and my sister dies, I'll kill you, Number Three.' Klaus didn't even know what other threats to make. This was all Number Three's idea, so if Hanna died, it would be his fault.
However, Klaus's worries eased when a miniature version of Hanna started to form. He continued forming the seals, muttering more strange words.
Another explosion ignited, blowing the miniature body up. However, in the next second, another form began to take shape, this time immediately cocooned in a large white-blue shell that started exuding powerful divine lightning fluctuations.
"Agis Hsan Mutrox: Divine Body Rebirth," Klaus chanted, and at once, the diagram in the air vibrated, sending powerful shockwaves. Then it happened: the circular diagram began spinning even faster.
Suddenly, a blue lightning energy burst out of it and entered the cocoon. An even more powerful surge of lightning struck Klaus, lifting him into the air until he stopped a few feet below the diagram.
"What belongs to me must never be taken in the first place," Klaus muttered, then resumed chanting. This time, the diagram didn't attack but began retreating back into the clouds.
However, a smile appeared on Klaus's lips as he changed his hand seal, slashed his palm, and brought out blood.
"I didn't do all this so you could run away. Now, be claimed!" Klaus shouted, waving his hand. Instantly, his blood flew and landed on the metallic diagram.
Another wave of energy burst out, this time spreading as far as Felin City and pressing down on many who were near the eastern section of the city.
The diagram, though still trying to retreat, now began to shrink. At the same time, Klaus also started showing signs of awakening as lightning flickered across his body.
"Come," Klaus commanded, forming a seal. The diagram seem to be panicking now as if it was alive and knew what was happening. It appeared like it was between two powerful pools, one familiar, and one oppressive.
Obviously, it had to let the familiar feeling take over.
"Don't even think about it. You were mine to begin with," Klaus's eyes suddenly turned red. An oppressive aura burst from his body, sending another shockwave, but this one was bloodthirsty in nature—the kind born from constant slaughter.
The diagram continued to resist, but an hour later, it had shrunk down to the size of a baseball. It crackled with lightning, mirroring the heavens through the clouds. Klaus, now slightly pale, reached out, and despite the intense lightning, grabbed it and immediately slammed it against his chest.
It vanished inside his body.
The moment he did that, lightning burst out of his body, his eyes widening as lightning danced across them.
"I did it, I really did it," Klaus said, but then his vision began to blur.
"No more time; I need to awaken it now while it's still ripped," Klaus muttered, forming a hand seal. Suddenly, his shirt burst apart.
On his back, one of the nine-star tattoos began to glow. This continued for a few minutes until, suddenly, something burst out of it.
Klaus was immediately surrounded by lightning. When it dissipated, a huge circular diagram with intricate markings and complex patterns appeared on his back, radiating intense lightning.
"Success," Klaus said, fist-bumping the air, then looking down.
"It's almost done," he smirked. "All thanks to the heavens."
