"I will give you one chance to surrender," Adam said, holding the black plasma sword in his hand.
But why a plasma sword? What happened?
The fragments of the Tree of Lofe were nothing more than containers of a vast amount of energy. Inside of each fragment, there was a whole dimension where all of that energy was sealed and a host was needed, one that could use this power.
After the fragments fused with the soul of a person, this person could release this power through their body, giving them an ability related to one of the primordial authorities. Of course, the person must have a strong body and enough power if they wanted to activate the fragments.
In other words, a person should be able to manipulate primordial particles, and they need to be mentally strong to a certain degree so that they would be able to keep their sanity and become another existence altogether without losing their identity.
