The unique situation and his unique path made it possible for him to take a leap in power that his path would only have in the distant future. His path was the monarch of mana, and mana was what governed all existence.
His flesh was something that was connected to him; Kayden built it himself. He knew every inch of his body, feeling his body with his mind and his path together caused him to enter a state where he could recognize the threads of mana in the matter itself.
If he hadn't started seeing his body as mana, he wouldn't be able to see the rest of things the same way. At that moment, everywhere he looked, there was only mana, be it the rivers or the air itself.
Everything was mana.
I was just waiting for your call.
The world was yours and it was at your feet.
