Chapter 104: Chapter 104: The Assimilation Gu

The heart of the Abyssal Cavern was nothing like Sam had imagined. It was both mesmerizing and terrifying—a swirling vortex of energies, light and dark, chaotic yet strangely harmonious. In the center of this maelstrom floated the Assimilation Gu, a creature unlike anything he'd ever seen. It was small, almost delicate, with wings that shimmered like oil on water, constantly shifting colors as it absorbed the energies around it. Its body was ethereal, translucent yet vibrant, pulsating with a mesmerizing glow that drew Sam in like a moth to a flame. 

"Well, this is it," Sam muttered to himself, his voice barely a whisper against the roaring energies. "No pressure or anything."
