As the ritual unfolds, Jaeden feels a surge of energy surrounding him and Tharion, leading him to unconsciously mirror the Shaman's gestures. Initially in control, Jaeden's manipulation of the ritual disrupts its delicate balance, triggering a chaotic energy surge. The Shaman's warning comes too late; Jaeden's connection to the Orichalcum Sword of Asterius amplifies the disruption, causing the ritual runes to flicker and swirl uncontrollably.

Despite the turmoil, Jaeden absorbs some of the Hydra's elemental essence, enhancing his sword's capabilities. Tharion undergoes a visible transformation, growing stronger, yet Jaeden realizes that not all of the essence is flowing into him. The Shaman observes the unfolding events with concern, acknowledging the unexpected shift in power.

As the ritual concludes, Jaeden's instincts kick in, and he opts to fuse the Prismata Cores of the Hydra, Titanoboa, and Gator King. The fusion creates a new, powerful Chimerical Core, but it remains incomplete and inactive, needing more essence to fully manifest its potential. This newfound core integrates with Jaeden's sword, granting it enhanced power and leaving both Jaeden and Tharion aware of the deeper connections forged during the ceremony.
