CRACK!
A loud shattering sound occurred when Dante struck the crack, and the barrier that blocked his soul from connecting to the outside shattered. Immediately, a huge wave of colors poured into his soul space from the outside, causing the void-like soul space to become lively.
Before the entire area could become inundated with it, the energy whip that Dante used solidified in front of the crack, forming its own unique barrier in the form of a gate. This gate then adapted into a long golden bridge that started from his origin core and went straight to the crack.
The moment this occurred, all the colors converged back towards the gate and were expelled from his soul space, now being mostly controllable and tame compared to before.
Etz Chaim watched the entire debacle with a dumbfounded expression. She had never heard of anyone destroying their own soul barrier which protected the soul from the harmful forces of the outside world willingly.
