Liline only smiled. "Just check for yourself."
Donnie gulped.
Time to test it.
He raised his hand, voice clear.
"Return."
Five portals shimmered into the air behind him.
One by one, the Vornis units stepped backward, vanishing into the personal dimension space tied to him.
No resistance. No delay. Full obedience.
Donnie exhaled slowly, lips curling into a smile.
"So… that means my talent already evolved into Sovereign-tier, right?"
Liline was silent for a moment.
Then she gave a small shake of her head.
"…Sadly, no."
Donnie blinked. "Wait—what?"
Liline kept her voice soft.
"While what you said earlier may be true in general… here at Luxoria, we only handle the contract and bond."
She gestured lightly.
"We didn't modify your body or upgrade your talent. We facilitated a link."
Donnie's smile faded. His brow furrowed slightly. "I see."
He stood quiet for a second, hands at his sides.
But Liline's voice interrupted that silence—calm and confident.
