Chapter 12 - Energy Circuits

Kai didn't know the commotion he had caused below.

He was isolated from the outside world.

Magical arrays that held fantastic effects started circling around him like an extension of his body.

He sat in a meditative position.

He started by trying to understand his body and after ten minutes later, Kai was convinced that his understanding of this new body was enough to start his plan.

Thus, he began by gathering the natural elemental essence and mana from the surroundings.

One of the magic circles circling him grew larger and brighter illuminating the deem lit room with a dazzling light show of blue, red, green, purple, yellow, and orange aurora.

Unbeknownst to the citizens occupying the street a person in the hostess of fertility is trying to gather all the natural energies in the surroundings as silently as possible.

A second magic array did the job, it glowed gray.

This is the concealing magic array.

Guided by his precise control, the chaotic natural elemental essence seemed to move like a flowing river uncharacteristic unlike its chaotic and unstable state it now became serine and gentle.

Strange multicolor veins began to be etched inside Kai's body showing a blue glow.

This process of energy absorption, conversion and elemental circuit building continue for about half an hour before Kai promptly stopped as he spat out a mouthful of black goo.

His nose perk with disgust from the stench the black goo is giving off.

"There are cat persons here and other people that have a good sense of smell, better clean this up first before mama Mia barges in."

He muttered.

Imagining mama Mia's ginormous fist that held enough power to turn him into a pulp of blood made him shivered.

Mama Mia might be an understanding and caring person he might not kill him but that doesn't mean there will be no pain and Kai didn't want to push his luck.

/Achoo!/ - Mama Mia

"Are you ok, mama."

Little May asked in concern.

"Someone is talking behind my back and it's probably that guy upstairs."

"You mean the one Ryuu and Chloe were infatuated with!"

"Yep, that guy or someone among these rowdy girls."

She said looking at her 'daughter's' moving around the pub discussing Kai while also teasing Ryuu and Chloe from time to time.

A magic circle manifested beside him and it began rotating in a fast clockwise motion as before his eyes the black goo and the disgusting smell in the surroundings disappeared into nothingness.

He sped up time by a × 1000. - [Temporal Acceleration]

It was only possible for substances that didn't have any high energy on them and to those that don't have any resistance against mystical powers.

Inhaling and exhaling Kai once again closed his eyes as he continued where he left off.

At first, this flow seemed gentle and relaxing, like a gentle river, but with his continuous absorption and pumping of converted essence, the essence began to stir and turned into an unstoppable surging tsunami.

This is one of the most critical periods when creating an energy circuit in the body.

One must stay strong, endure and not lose control over the surging energy inside one's body.

A loss of control means a loss of opportunity to build one, worst a loss of the person's life.

The energy whirlpool surged madly pumping more and more energy throughout the newly created energy circuits strengthening it to the limit.

There were no visible changes in the outside perspective but Kai's ugly expression of clear pain and agony said otherwise.

He could just have stopped on a common energy circuit that he had already achieved earlier, but Kai didn't want that.

What he desire is a unique and impenetrable foundation unlike his past life's foundation.

What he had in his past life is a sturdy foundation above others but such a foundation cannot suffice him now.

Having a sturdy foundation is not enough.

He was even helpless against the notorious means of the church and now that's he is in a world where anything is possible a mere sturdy foundation clearly cannot satisfy him.

This time Kai decided to be more bold, a bit careless and overbearing in building his foundation.

He is too indecisive and cautious back on Earth holding him back greatly.

However, here in this new world where he did not want to be the same overly careful individual he once was he wanted to be more active and do things decisively with a grin.

He cannot possibly take a back seat in this world if he desire growth, sure he'll be put in danger but just like the saying no pain no gain.

He can't expect to receive something without earning it.

Like a bomb exploding a powerful force spread throughout Kai's entire body as he did the last decisive push.

Cracks began surface on his skin as black goo started leaking out from these cracks that wouldn't regenerate for some reason even though he had the [Undying Body]

Kai gritted his teeth enduring the extreme and unbearable pain his in as the energy circuits around his entire body vibrate painfully followed by electrifying damage burning his insides.

The black disgusting goo continues to seep out of his body.

For the following minutes Kai just sat there in enduring extreme traumatizing pain.

An hour later a bright rainbow shine illuminated the cracks on his skin as it gave off a gentle force lessening the pain Kai was enduring before the cracks began to reset vanishing like it never happened.

Kai slumped on the mattress of the bed face first and tears can be seen dripping on his cheeks highlighting his cute looks.

"Never one's I imagine there were such degree of pain, the mages torture cannot be compare to that pain."

He muttered.

He can still feel the unbearable pain coursing throughout his entire body.

What Kai didn't account for is his newly created energy circuits that was connected directly to his soul unlike the common and unique energy circuits that only acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual body.

Kai's energy circuits on the other hand did not just provide a boost to his mystical prowess in magic and elemental powers, it also slowly and surely gave a permanent enhancement in both of his physical body and spiritual body.

It can be said that Kai can grow infinitely without doing a thing or two.

In the first place Primordial Arch Human is a race that can live eternally.

/He did not know this about his race./

He can stay idling all his life and he will still reach the apex of this reality.

Furthermore his physical and spiritual body aren't the only one's growing the same goes for his soul but this growth is inconsequential.

His soul is a unique thing that holds too many unknowns.

Even Freya noticed how unique his soul was putting aside the fact his soul clearly surpassed the souls of gods, the infinite power hidden inside it is something that shouldn't have been possible.

Such irregularity denies the natural order of existence.

Energy cannot be destroyed or converted it only changes form.

Yet his soul said otherwise.

Unfortunately, he cannot easily access this infinite energy, his body cannot withstand the mere pressure of doing so.

The growth in Kai's soul is the amount of power he is allowed to use, the amount of force he can exert.

Previously he is only allowed to used 0.01%

However, right now he can at least use 0.03% of that infinite energy.

The numbers are unfeasibly miniscule yet such a small increase in numbers boosted Kai's already absurd attack power by another 20%.

--- Kai ---

I can't stop here.

I thought.

The excess energy released by my success in creating my energy circuits is still there.

I can't waste that.

Ignoring the still lingering pain all around my body I forcibly pushed myself up and continue.
