Kapitel 887: The Divine Academy

Jake stopped convulsing and slowly stood up, lifeless. His eye turned amethyst purple for a fleeting second before a burst of black and silver light shot out of his pupil and returned it to its normal color.

"I'm fine." Jake reassured her in a hoarse voice.

Seeing that there was nothing left but nothingness around Celestial City - the only proof that the planet Quanoth had ever existed - Jake felt a guilty satisfaction, close to exhilaration, but he could still tell the difference between an abnormal emotion and what morality dictated he should do.
