238 King Garnet Nystrom of the North

AKU was surprised to be met with silence when he entered Kyro's shrine.

Yumi's agonizing screams have finally ended.

And that was definitely because of the unconscious Stella on the floor. Kyro's physical body was nowhere to be seen in the shrine. But he could feel his divine presence in the coffin.

He must be resting now after using his power to put Yumi's spirit inside Stella.

"Lord Kyro, should I come back at another time?" Aku asked. "I'll leave and bring Stella to her room if you're already done with your job."

"Just leave the woman here," Kyro said in a commanding voice. "Yumi is still unconscious since her spirit hasn't resonated with her new host's body yet. I'm certain that my poor wife will be angry once she realized that I forcibly cut off her connection to our soon. I have to be near her to calm her down."

"Ah, I see," he said. "Do you think Stella's body can contain Yumi's spirit?"
