First things first, I had to tackle my Creator's Ability. If I wanted to make any meaningful progress, I needed to focus on one thing at a time. And right now, the thing I lacked most was time.
Seven hours. That's all I had to become powerful enough to make my plan work.
Fortunately, I had a potential solution: the Time Dilation Mindscape (TDM). It could slow time within my mind, allowing me to think faster and strategize.
But that wasn't enough. I needed something that could also affect the real world—combat, training, and creation.
"System," I called out, "how much energy would it take to upgrade TDM to affect the real world?"
A familiar, mechanical voice echoed in my mind:
[Host would need at least twice the energy to achieve a dilation ratio of 1:2. To achieve a ratio of 1:10, host would require 10 times the energy. Ratios scale exponentially from there.]
Well, shit.
