Aurelion did not react immediately when the system began to shift. He stayed still, letting the changes settle instead of trying to follow them too quickly. The structure around him was not unstable, but it was not the same either. It felt like the system was adjusting its own balance, slowly making sense of what had just happened.
The system did not settle down after the pressure faded. Instead, Aurelion felt it change in a steady and quiet way. It did not return to how it was before. It began adjusting itself, strengthening certain parts and fixing areas that had been affected during the clash. Nothing happened suddenly. The changes were controlled, but they reached deep into the system.
