62 Causing Problems For Oneself, Breaking Records (1/2)
An hour and a half after Jane's emergency operation began, Elizabeth could be seen with a hazy blue glint in her eyes, directing cold energy across Jane's body to allow her a breakthrough even through her unconsciousness. She could even confidently declare that her management of Jane's breakthrough was progressing better in her hands than if Jane herself was the one to do it, evident by virtue of her going back to fix the same problems with Jane's foundation that she had discovered on Sun.
Elizabeth couldn't really improve Jane's spirituality as that was something one could only accomplish alone through perception and comprehension. But, perfecting the physical side of her foundation was as easy as breathing to Elizabeth; especially with the cold energy that never seemed to end.
Like she had done for herself during her breakthroughs and level ups, Elizabeth made sure to bore Jane's energy deep into all the pores of her skin, then through all the fibrous muscular tissues on her body, followed by penetrating the entirety of her skeletal system's outer bone layer.
Elizabeth finished doing all she could for Jane at the moment. She had already stopped and reverted the Dantian Implosion into what could now be considered an excellent breakthrough out of the Soldier Stage. However, there was still a ton of cold energy uncontrollably spawning off Jane's Dantian, thus, Elizabeth helped herself to some more free Inner Strength as she felt her reserves double, triple, and continue increasing without reservation; this was, after all, the least Jane could do to pay her back...
At one point, however, it seemed like she'd taken in ”too” much energy as her manipulation of Jane's energy seized and she felt herself crash into a wall of sorts. A notification from her functions nearly scared Elizabeth to death as she thought for a second that she'd misdirected her energy somehow. But, unlike the past couple events thus far, the notification reported rather good news; at least that was true for the first half of its contents.

Elizabeth couldn't read any more of the notification, as her connection to her functions seemed to vanish from whence they came. She found herself one moment paralyzed in the real world, and in the next, she was back to the small domain she had claimed at the core of her Soul Land. She could clearly recall the fierce juxtaposition her Soul Land's domain possessed; it being extremely hard to forget that starry pure sky paired with the hellish black and yellow earth.
But, outside the range of her Soul's core, in the static void of infinity and beyond, a seemingly endless and dooming cold could be felt advancing towards her small paradise in hateful stride… It was at this moment, that Elizabeth noticed four sources of light within her Domain. One colored red, another cyan, a third colored white, and the last a crystal clear blue. All of these lights originated from ”special” Stargazer lilies within her domain, and two of them were especially active.
