Alex spent the following weeks honing his control over the Extinction Code. He tested it on a variety of creatures, from the weakest goblins to the most formidable dragons. With each test, his mastery of the skill grew, and his understanding of its limitations deepened.
He learned that the skill's power was directly proportional to the amount of mana he invested. A small, focused burst could eliminate a weaker creature, while a massive expenditure of mana could obliterate entire armies.
He also discovered that the skill could be used in conjunction with other abilities. For example, he could combine it with his Space manipulation to create a localized void, trapping enemies within the Extinction Code's range.
As his proficiency with the Extinction Code grew, so too did his confidence. He had created a weapon of unparalleled power, a tool that could shape the destiny of worlds.
