At night, Nico Ross lay quietly on the soft healing bed.
The Fine Energy Fluid Transformation Device embedded in his new version of the Force-Feeding Artifact was slowly operating.
A large number of Real Energy-level oscillating particles were rising like mist around Nico's body.
These Actual Energy particles, smaller and more penetrating than neutrinos, flew rapidly through Nico's body at a rate of billions of billions per second; most of them passed directly, but a tiny fraction intersected with the atomic nuclei or electron clouds that constitute his body.
An even smaller portion was captured by the atomic nuclei and underwent an energy exchange, causing these atoms to release new Actual Energy particles.
However, the new Real Energy particles were not exactly identical to the previous ones, with a slightly lower energy level.
During the process of collision, annihilation, and rebirth of Real Energy particles, part of the energy "disappears."
