Chapter 678 - Self-Reliant Path! First, Body.
"Meow~ we will know once master wakes up," Lucky said, "let's go out and go to some towns now. Mimi is also gone for three years, and I am bored."
"Alright," Huarun nodded as both of them disappeared.
...
On the other hand, Athan had made a lot of progress in his endeavor.
He had made rough outlines on how he would progress by solely using the powers he wielded, that he could call his own, and his body.
He first focused on his body and had already changed his entire body structure many times by experimenting, finding the most optimum way to use his physical power to its full potential.
Since he had voidpulse, which could turn into anything as long as he had understood it entirely, Athan decided to create an entirely new body system by shaping his voidpulse into new types of organs and trying to fit into his body to use his physical power in various ways by experimenting.
Naturally, he had to think about the structure of the new organs he created and how they should work with his body through experimenting. That's why he had to change his body structure and his cell structure to his imagination as well.
For the constant supply of voidpulse, Athan was devouring chaos-stones and ken-stones as he had quite a lot of them.
Athan had experimented a lot in the past four years before finally completing his new body system.
His body was no longer the same body as before. It has now completely transformed into something new, an entirely new lifeform with a new fundamental structure.
Naturally, it resembled human body structure, but the fundamentals were different and he had more things inside.
The source of his physical body power was obviously his blood. With how strong his current physical body power was, several drops of his blood condensed can destroy a planet in a universe.
His body was not using any powers of body order power or any other shits. He had purely strengthened his body by constantly limit breaking it by refining his body's fundamental structures cells using extremely powerful chaotic energies of the most powerful warren-dimension.
However, he can now refine his body more optimally and strengthen it with his new body system once he finds more powerful types of energies in Orchos Firmament.
Now for the new changes and power structure of his new body...
The first thing was void empowerment veins. These veins were connected to the black orb, and abyssal darkness was flowing in these veins as they circulated in his entire body through that orb. These new veins' cells structure was unique due to their cell's function, which determined the function of these veins. After all, everything was made of up cells.
The source of his physical power was his blood, which was also circulating in these void empowerment veins along with abyssal darkness.
These void empowerment veins spread to his entire internal body structure to the fundamental levels. These veins were not as superficial as the normal veins of the human body. The thing note was that he was not consuming abyssal darkness but just circulating it around his entire body through void empowerment veins.
However, there was another organ in his body that was creating something entirely new through these void empowerment veins. This new organ was at the center of his chest, and It was the core of his new body system and was connected to the white orb and his soul.
Athan named this organ Void Crux, and it was the masterpiece that he had created in the last four years.
This Void Crux had two uses:
The first use of the Void Crux was to extract the power of his physical body through the Void Empowerment Veins that spread throughout his entire body's fundamental structure and condense it into Abyssal Blood Crystals using voidpulse.
In short: Physical body power/Blood + Abyssal darkness + Voidpulse = Abyssal Blood Crystals.
Abyssal Blood Crystals were tiny crystals that condensed his blood, which was the source of his physical power and abyssal darkness into possible extremity using voidpulse.
They were filled with the strongest possible power of his physical body PLUS his abyssal darkness combined into one to the extreme limits. This was the new source of energy that Athan created, and it was possible due to Void Crux, which Athan spent most of his time creating by experimenting countless times.
So naturally, Void Crux had a complex process in it that made use of his voidpulse to combine his blood and abyssal darkness to the extreme limits before creating Abyssal Blood Crystals.
This was made possible because of the new fundamental structure of the body that Athan created after countless experiments on it and finally transforming his body into a better lifeform that catered to this new body system.
The second use of the Void Crux was about strengthening his body to new heights. Athan now could absorb powerful energies and directly infuse them into Void Crux, which would then spread it to his entire body's fundamental structure to the cell level through Void Empowerment Veins and make his body stronger to the extreme limits possible.
Naturally, this complex process of Void Crux to refine and strengthen his body also required some voidpulse, which it can get from either the white orb or his soul.
These two functions of Void Crux sounded simple, but to use them, Athan had to do countless experiments and transform his body from a fundamental structure to cater to this new system that allowed him to produce Abyssal Blood Crystal and strengthen his body to new heights.
It was countless times more complex than his heart because Athan had to create something entirely new and make it work, which also forced him to change his entire body's structure from a fundamental level.
During this meditation, Athan had also generalized his capacity and recovery of his powers to keep track of things better.
<Black Orb>
-100,000/100,000 points of abyssal darkness.
-10,000 points of abyssal darkness recovered per 12 minutes.
.
<White Orb>
-75,000/75,000 points of voidpulse.
-1000 voidpulse produced per consumption of 2500 points of abyssal darkness.
.
<Soul>
-400,000 points of soul energy.
-210,000 points of abyssal darkness.
-160,000 points of voidpulse.
-Two hours to fully recover everything.
Now the uses of the Abyssal Blood Crystal were two.
First, he could consume these Abyssal Blood Crystal and spread its power through his body to strengthen empower his body. Even he didn't know how powerful his body would become once he did that. After all, creating a single Abyssal Blood Crystal requires 20% of his total blood, 12,000 points of voidpulse, and 20,000 points of abyssal darkness.
Twenty thousand points of abyssal darkness were enough to devour ten candidate-level powerhouses.
However, the main use that Athan visioned was to use this Abyssal Blood Crystal to release powerful Void Arts that he will create later and also on his other organ that he made.
This organ was connected to his brain.. But from his brain, it went to the deepest part of his body and spread its tendrils everywhere.
