Chapter 25 - Chapter 23: What an Upgrade

"Hmm, hmm. I'm listening." Hakai asserted with a cute but sharp expression.

"Good, hold on to your seat. It will be a long explanation." He informed him before taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.

"Our cosmos came to exist when two opposite entities collided. Positive and Negative. The big bang sprung forth the birth of infinity. Through the advent of lesser beings, we, the Gods, came to be. One who wishes from their heart will have their wish fulfilled by the positive. One who wishes from the depths of their rage will have their wish fulfilled by the negativity." Hachiman said as he raised his arms and performed a hand seal. Then, he brought his arms down and outwards from his body and performed another hand sign on both. Finally, he moved his arms by his waist and completed the last hand seal.

Hmm~doom

The two were floating in outer space, wide open in the nothingness. Hakai stood up and spotted two far away opposite particles colliding. Hachiman walked up behind him and held his shoulder. An array of light, energy, heat, and matter quickly covered the space.

"Wow!" Hakai remarked as he followed the beautiful mix of subjects dash through him and expanded further and faster than the speed of light.

"Universes, galaxies, solar systems, black holes, stars, planets, moons, etc. Formed, filling and expanding, giving life and taking, this world came to exist from what two opposites could achieve." Hachi explained as the pair watched a cluster of galaxies come to exist. "In one particular galaxy, a race of beings, so greedy, so wishful brought the Gods into existence." He said as he pointed to the birth of the earth.

"One human wished for there to be a warmer day, positivity listened. Another wished for water, positivity listened. Another wished for the destruction of his rivaling clan, and you came to be, Hakai, you get what I'm explaining?" Hachi said as another version, a mysterious one filled with rage, appeared. Soaked in the blood of the enemy, he gazed directly into the current Hakai's core.

"Hmm, I do," Hakai said, snapping out of the gaze of his former self.

"Very well, then that concludes that segment, onto to the next," Hachiman said as the illusion of the world warped into a single point and disappeared.

"That was amazing," Hakai remarked while grasping reality again.

"Right," Hachiman added. Then, standing far away, he signaled to the shocked Hakai to come over.

"What now?" Hakai asked as he snapped out of the confused state. "

"Answer me this, what do you fuse your physical energy with?" Hachiman asked Hakai as he performed a hand seal.

"I- uhh... Whatever emotion that courses through my body at the time being." Hakai said while watching Hakai.

"I infuse the positive energy of excitement I receive from war," Hachiman said as he channeled his energy to its origin, then suddenly expanding through his body, red energy released from his body, engulfing him wholly. "Positive energy is abundant in this world, infuse it and use it as a tool," Hachiman instructed Hakai as he released the seal and his energy began to settle down. "Do not only rely on what energy you can produce." He said while looking at him. "Positive energy infusion should allow for a long duration of stamina, improved senses, enhanced combat skills, incredible strength, and better durability," Hachiman told him as he stared him up and down. "You truly are strong for only relying on what this weak vessel can provide you with." He praised him

Hakai looked at him in awe, receiving good praise from his rival and friend. "I'm amazing, huh?" He repeated to him with sparkly eyes.

"Yes, but also an idiot," Hachiman added an insult to the praise.

"Meanie!" Hakai cried a river.

"Alright, next segment!" He shouted at Hakai, trying to pump him up.

Hakai stopped his childish retaliating acts and listened again.

"Stand straight, perform this signal," Hachiman instructed him as he showed him a hand seal. "And channel all your physical energy to its origin." Hakai listened and followed his exact words. "Now feel the power in the atmosphere. You see how much there is?" He asked Hakai, who felt massive amounts of positive energy flow in Hachiman's and beyond this plain.

"This feeling!" Hakai said to himself, standing in awe in a vast world, viewing as the energy itself traveled through all the connected multi-dimensional worlds. All while still listening outside, to what Hachiman instructed him to do next.

"Draw it into yourself, direct to the origin." He shouted at Hakai to pull the positive energy into himself.

"Haaa!" Hakai screamed as he drew a massive portion of the positive energy into himself.

"There you go, now channel it to the origin, infuse it with your physical energy and flow it through every fiber of your body!" Hachi told him, holding a fist up in excitement.

"Take it in, move it to the origin, and infuse it." He repeated to himself.

"Good, keep it up!" Hachiman encouraged him.

"Flow," Hakai whispered as he allowed the energy to flow to every fiber of his body. While on its journey, the new formation of energy enchanted his body, senses, combat skills, prowess, individual abilities, durability, and stamina.

"Hah!" He breathed out in relief as his hands fell to his side, he rose, and the new energy circulated his body in a massive glow.

"What a feeling!" Hakai said as his feet touched the soil again. Intensely staring into his palm, his voice, actions, and the air around him suddenly twisted. "So this is how positive energy feels." He uttered while laughing uncontrollably. "Now, I'm one step closer to regaining my original power!" He shouted while laughing maniacally.

"Oi, Hakai, what are you rambling on about?" Hachiman shouted at him in a defensive pose.

"This feeling, I don't like it," Hachiman told himself as he readied for what seemed to be an upcoming battle with his friend.
