The first thing Mars wanted to do, was sending his body into unbelievable places. He went deep under the ocean, onto the highest mountains, on other planets and even almost into the sun, training and raising his Energy Capacity. He leveled himself up until he reached level 25 because after that something was blocking this option and so he invested his exp into Energy training techniques. By consuming one Void Core he increased his Void Affinity affecting his Skills and even updating his Energy Training Technique : Void into a form for all kinds of energy but with a special bonus for Void and Radiation, gaining double the Energy Capacity for half the cost. Because of these experiences did his Resistance and Resilience rise, while also gaining the passive Skills : Heat Resistance (passive: Your innate Resistance to warmth awakened gaining a natural heat shield.), Energy Resistance (passive: Due to the high exposure with a lot of energy forms, has your body become more resistant to them.) and upgrading Energy Absorbtion, now letting him absorb up to 50% of the attack, draining the enemies of their attack power. He also recovers 4% of his maximun Energy Capacity per minute now. Just like that he trained for 6 days straight until they finally received a message from their energy sensors.

Description:
A young man that got drawn into a conflict he should not be in. His soul is already tainted. The black veins are a sign of the already miserable state he is in. He should begin praying as they are after him already, but as he is learning more about the truth, he is starting to change his destiny. If for better or worse, that has not been answered yet...
Aurelius hasn't appeared during that phase again, leaving Mars to his own ideas and thoughts.
But the moment the sensors reacted a quest activated, disturbing his mind.
... MAIN QUEST ACTIVATED : 'A test of true strength' - Defeat the approaching enemy originating from an unknown power. ... Rewards : Mental Core Shard ...
'They are already here? Even so I should be ready now.' Opening his eyes, he left his meditation room near the Void chamber, a place were the newly obtained Void bladders and Void generators were kept. He used them to learn more about the Void and the enemy while training his Energy Capacity and control.
- On the radar the enemy ship could be seen to have stopped near the planet Mars, waiting for their prey to appear. Suddenly a space ripple formed near the destined battlefield letting a small Wyrm Fighter get out - The prey finally made their entrance.
It opened its cockpit and a small creature flew out, that immediately turned almost invisible like the pitch black armor that had appeared before it.
"You kept me waiting. Lord Merkur won't be happy to hear that..." The enemy also left his own Wyrm Fighter, that was clearly better than Mars's given the sparse ressources. He looked like a male Valkyrie, wearing the insignias of his liege : a helmet and boots with feathers aswell as big white wings on his back. "So you are one of his Heralds?" "One of his?!" Anger could be heard in the enemies voice. "I am THE Herald of the greatest Wyrm, who is supposed to rule over every Wyrm and Worm there is, the best of the best. So give up dreaming on you winning as in your condition, I am like an indestructible wall." The man went silent and looked at Mars with a sharp eagle eyes. "I never expected the great Mars, bringer of death and destruction, to be my opponent and to be this weak. What will the others say if I defeat you? I will definitely get my hands on Lord's blessing!" Joy could be seen all over his face, his body even twitched from time to time. "What a weirdo..." The Valkyries face turned serious after that. "I won't let you disgrace him like this, even if you were someone great in the past. I can't feel any power coming from you and I know how you fight, so you can't suprise me. My Mind Space is superior!" The space around them turned sluggy and gibberish almost breaking apart. Mars's body slowed down immediately, but his mind was uneffected letting him expand his own Mind Space and stabilizing everything within a 1m radius.
"Pff- what a weak excuse for a Mind Space, if you like it that much, then die within it!" Something started to press on his Mind Space from all sides, making it come closer and closer - The Madman wanted to crush him through his own Mind Space!
'System, put everything into Mental!' Mars's Mental Stat started to rise like there was no tomorrow, easily breaking through the 100 mark only ending after reaching 104. Something changed. Mars's Aura turned more intense than before, letting him look sharper and more like an intelligent beast. He went into a calm state of mind. His thoughts got more controlled and he wasn't afraid of his enemy anymore, pushing back the incoming walls with ease and freeing this room of the violent enemy Mind Space letting his own break through to the next level.
"Ah, finally I already thought you weren't gonna be a challenge. I can go into the next phase then." Energy Waves could be felt coming from his enemy. His technique got more powerful, reversing the process of Mars's small victory and pushing back again.
