< "Why haven't I thought of that before? It can save me a lot of trouble from wasting my precious soul force." >
Neo grinned upon hearing this. His plan was a success. Now, all that remained was to synthesize the Demon Seed with his body and tame it.

The water stopped moving, the abyssal oceanic lifeforms stopped breathing, and the pressure grew suffocatingly dense. The crimson pearl distorted the very space around it as it came to a halt just an arm's reach away from Neo's massive figure.
Taking a deep breath, Neo reached out and grasped it firmly with his right hand.
