Through the week Arad spent in the void; he had discovered several new layers to his power. After pushing his matter-creation ability, he managed to create several elements until he stopped at the eighth element he found so far, Oxygen. That means that after discovering Lithium white fighting Vorvadoss, he had managed to get beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, and lastly oxygen all created from energy. By using the void between atoms he can crush them into energy and then rearrange that energy to form matter.
By mixing oxygen and nitrogen, he managed to make a compound close to air, which he used to breathe for the past week. This seems to be how adult void dragons manage to survive in the vacuum of the void, they create their own air to breathe.
