Chương 899: Mirror of Truth (Part 2)

Kaizen kept his eyes fixed on the clone in front of him, every detail of its appearance identical to his own. He felt a shiver run down his spine, but he stood his ground. This was the Mirror of Truth test, a challenge he knew would be monumental.

"So, we've finally met. You knew this moment would come, didn't you?" asked the clone.

"I knew it," replied Kaizen, his voice firm but laden with a slight tension. "But knowing and understanding how are two different things."

Kaizen's clone smiled, a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "You've always been good at recognizing your weaknesses, but can you overcome them?"

Kaizen stepped forward, his feet sinking slightly into the soft grass of the field. The breeze continued to blow, carrying the scent of wild flowers and the promise of a great battle. He could feel the energy of the place pulsating around him, as if the field itself was alive and attentive to the imminent confrontation.
