Beneath the atrium, Ronan was struggling to adapt—or rather, to find a match.
What he needed to match now was not simply a choice between the Physical Aspect and the Mental Aspect, nor a minor adjustment to his Form and Spirit Framework. He needed to meet the demands of controlling the Tattered Divine Cloak and its corresponding Law Hook Lines.
Over on Outer Earth, Tang Li had barely tested the waters and still suffered a backlash. Ronan's Original Body, meanwhile, worked on a far grander scale, casually involving Plane-Time structures as vast as the Cloud Top World.
For now, Ronan mainly relied on External Attachments such as Magnetic Light Mica and Altar Spider Web to shoulder the burden.
But that kind of substitution added another layer between him and his goal. It inevitably limited his precision and reduced efficiency. Worse, if a bug appeared under such intense operation—if Magnetic Light Mica so much as twitched or Altar Spider Web fluctuated—hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people on Inner Earth might suddenly drop dead or turn into Stitching Monsters. The consequences would be a nightmare.
In the end, he had to rely on himself.
Within the Three Layers, One Zone, One Domain system, Ronan had to weave a network of connections around his own Form and Spirit Framework, turning it into the axis of the Tattered Divine Cloak's operation and achieving a deep match on both the material and Law Layer levels. There was no avoiding that path.
Ronan called the process "Nightmare Transformation."
It was not the Tian Yuan Empire's path of Furnace Completion Law Deployment, and it no longer required Golden Cells. But it still demanded a tremendous increase in the strength and level of his Form and Spirit Framework. The deeper his Nightmare Transformation went, the higher his
