He managed to survive, but not unscathed. He was missing a hand and a leg—sacrifices made to shield vital parts of his body from the relentless spatial attacks. These attacks were nearly unstoppable, capable of being delayed only momentarily by hitting something, forcing him to exploit even some parts of his body to gain the smallest fraction of time to evade the rest of their attacks.

Despite that, the rest of his body bore the marks of destruction, with his charred flesh and ruined armor now little more than dead weight. All electronics within the armor had been fried, leaving it utterly useless. He resembled a lightning-struck figure, alive but teetering on the brink of hopelessness. While his desperate sacrifice had succeeded in preventing an untimely end to the fight or his life, his current condition was far from one that could sustain further combat.

Nova wasted no time, immediately propelling Aron at maximum speed, intent on vacating the area without delay. She needed to create distance, allowing a brief moment to analyze the situation and determine whether Aron could continue the fight. If Aron was unable to make the decision himself, Nova was prepared to act—whether to surrender on his behalf or abandon the Colosseum entirely, knowing that doing so would automatically count as a forfeit.

Although surrendering on Aron’s behalf would mean forfeiting their best chance at gaining immediate access to cutting-edge spatial technology—a critical part of their plan—Nova understood that no information was worth sacrificing Aron’s life or jeopardizing the empire\'s future. While this opportunity was the most convenient and direct, there would always be other, albeit more time-consuming and costly, ways to acquire the technology. Operating with this conviction, Nova was prepared to prioritize survival and preservation over the mission if Aron was incapacitated or unable to decide for himself.

{Sir! Sir! Sir!} Nova\'s voice echoed urgently, but throughout this time, there was no response from Aron. Ever since he had left the area of the attack, he had remained completely unresponsive.

Had she been a human, her heart would have been pounding in terror, the fear of something catastrophic having happened to Aron\'s brain almost overwhelming. The system shutting her out would have only heightened her unease. However, the one glimmer of hope that would have kept Nova calm was the presence of detectable brain waves—proof that Aron was still alive. The system’s lockdown appeared to be a protective measure rather than an indicator of critical failure.

Even the dynamic perception acceleration had been deactivated, that too likely for his safety. But Nova pushed those concerns aside for now; her priority was to assess his condition before worrying about the broader implications.

Never one to wait for confirmation before preparing for contingencies, Nova immediately ordered the ship to power up and ready itself to receive Aron. Her plan was clear: conduct a swift diagnostic on his condition, and if the situation demanded it, forfeit the fight without hesitation. Survival took precedence over victory, and she was determined to act decisively when the time came.

"Where am I?" Aron asked, his voice laced with confusion as he scanned his surroundings. The area around him was unlike anything he had encountered before—an incomprehensible space that eluded even his heightened perception. Everything felt both infinite and confined, an abstract void that defied the very laws of reality he was accustomed to.

"Is this where you go when you\'re dying, or is this system-related?" Aron questioned, his tone eerily calm as his sharp eyes scanned the surreal environment. It was a practiced composure born from years of responsibility—an unconscious behavior ingrained in him. Fear or panic was a luxury he couldn’t afford; the empire needed him to act decisively, even in moments like this.

Though Aron found himself in an unfamiliar location, he wasn’t overly concerned about his physical body. He had prepared countermeasures for such contingencies long ago. The only emotion he permitted himself to feel now was curiosity, as he studied his surroundings with intent, postponing any worry for a more appropriate moment.

While both Aron and Nova were preoccupied with their own thoughts, an unexpected phenomenon began unfolding within his still-charred body. His heart, which typically functioned like a normal heart but pumped golden liquid in place of blood—sustaining him with a seemingly endless supply of mana—was now glowing faintly. This was far from its usual behavior, signaling that something extraordinary was taking place.

The hundreds of billions of runes etched into Aron\'s body, most of which had remained dormant since their creation, began to glow faintly. One by one, they flickered to life, as though some unseen force was awakening them all at once, signaling an imminent activation of their latent power.

The glowing of the runes wasn\'t a simple flicker. Some parts of the intricate patterns blazed with a sudden intensity, only to dim again, returning to a more consistent luminosity. This cycle of brighter bursts followed by stabilization occurred at an astonishing speed, with most runes activating in mere picoseconds, while others took slightly longer, unfolding over microseconds.

The fact that this transformation was occurring without detection from either Aron, Nova, the viewers, or even the AI referee was both perplexing and remarkable. Despite the two AIs\' advanced sensors—one embedded within Aron\'s body and the other monitoring from external systems—nothing about this phenomenon registered. It was as though the process was occurring beyond the reach of their sensors, too advanced or too subtly integrated into Aron\'s systems for even the most sophisticated technology to perceive.

The sheer scale of it was undeniable—something monumental was taking place within Aron\'s body.
