"Haa...." It was now 10 minutes after the round had started, still, 20 minutes were remaining. I couldn't talk because I couldn't think properly, and also because it took a lot of energy.
"It is way harder than I thought." I noted to myself.
Since, I wasn't using flow, my body was currently adapting at a "slow" rate. It was pretty good in the beginning, but, now, it was very tiring.
I couldn't even think properly think, right now. Except Emma, who somehow was completely fine, while, me and Osiric were barely staying conscious.
The air was very heavy, so, it was very hard to breathe. My heart also had to work very hard to pump blood. My body also felt very heavy - mostly because I wasn't using any bit of flow, since, my body naturally uses some flow to amplify itself.
Even now, I was still leagues above any normal human. But, considering how much power I had, "normally", I was very "weak".
And also, without the use of flow, I couldn't ignore some laws my body unconsciously ignored, like gravity, drag, conservation of energy. So it was even harder for me to stay awake - since I couldn't just ignore the pull.
So, me and Osiric were sitting side by side. And were concentrated on one thing only, staying awake.
Emma was doing her own thing, I really didn't know what she was doing. My vision had gotten very narrow.
'So, this just showed how much of a powerful force the flow is.' I mean, no shit, it was an infinite dimensional energy source, that existed everywhere - though very little in most places.
With just using it I had survived inside a star's core for 10 minutes. Something, that was way worse than this environment.
"Ugh..." it was getting harder and harder, my body still hadn't fully adapted to this G force.
Since, everything was 150 times greater. All of my muscles had to change, my bone structure as well.
It was also giving me an exponential increase in my strength and resistance stat - though, the increase was only 5 points.
It was still a huge increase, In the last 9 rounds, my stats had only increased by 10 points. Getting 5 points was a huge increase, especially considering the time.
I took me days to get the 10 points increase; and it only took me 10 minutes to get a 5 point increase, with this training. It was a crazy increase in growth.
'Well, that just showed me why I shouldn't bitch about not being able to use 100% of a matter's energy.' I really couldn't say anything about the flow; I had finally seen just how much support I got from it.
It was literally a training wheels made for newborn babies, for me.
...
20 minutes, I and Osiric were currently dying. We were literally laying on the white floor. We couldn't even move our bodies, or open our eyes.
We were also very very very tired. We were just barely hanging on to our consciousness, it was very hard.
If someone were to see us, from a place that didn't have this much gravitational pull so they don't spaghettify, they would probably be thinking us as weird people.
We had a constipated expression - with closed eyes. We were, very, very weird. But, I didn't mind it, it was just that hard to stay conscious.
Due to how hard it was, every second, my love for the flow increased. As I was again showed, the hard way, how powerful of a tool it was.
So, while I was praising the flow, my consciousness started to slip, and before I realized it. I was knocked out.
And that's how I failed this round, for the first time.
