Chapter 16 - Act XVI: Beyond Limits: The Evolution of Strength

"I need to come up with another way to get there, or else I'll never make it," he said, thinking about another method and wondering what he would learn when he got there.

—A moment later—

"Hmmm," Infinity thought.

"Maybe I can use the energy in my body the way I did with my eyes earlier?" he asked himself, wondering if it would work.

"Alright, let's do this," he said, and began to control the energy around his body. After a moment, he started channeling it into his body.

The energy first absorbed into his muscles, then into his organs, and finally into his heart, which began to beat faster.

'DUD-DUD'

It was then carried through the veins to the rest of the body.

'Dud-Dud'

But it didn't stop there. The energy that started being transported into the body through the veins was absorbed into the cells that made up the body.

This increased its strength, but not just in the ordinary sense — it could be described as evolution.

"What's happening? Is it because I'm channeling energy into my body?" he said, not knowing what was going on with him.

"I feel like I'm becoming stronger? Faster?" he said, already having a slight idea of what was happening, but still unsure.

"How does energy affect the body? Does it only increase strength and speed, or is there more?" he asked, still unsure, but continuing to discover more.

"Maybe I'll stop channeling the energy and see what happens?" he said, stopping the flow of energy and observing the changes in his body.

"I feel like my strength is still increasing, but more slowly. I feel like my body is changing," he said, noticing and feeling the transformations in his body.

"I'll try channeling the energy into my body again," he said, resuming the process and watching the changes unfold.

"So, the cells absorb the energy, and that's how they strengthen," he said, watching the changes happen in his body.

—A few minutes later—

"My whole body has changed. My strength and speed have increased by several times, but that's not all. Even my vision, which I had to use energy for before, is now enhanced by the energy itself, just because it started being absorbed into the cells," he said, listing all the changes, but was he aware of all of them?

"But why didn't my eyes improve earlier when we used energy on them?" he said, thinking about the reason, but then suddenly remembered something.

"No, my vision did improve, but we didn't notice it earlier because so much was happening. Still, the changes weren't as drastic as they are now because we weren't using as much energy as I am now," he said, understanding the cause, but still wondering if the changes he had noticed were the only ones.

"But is that all?" he said, still pondering.

However, the changes happening in him were far greater, and he didn't realize it yet. Even though they were much more significant, they were still too subtle for him to notice.

Namely, the cells that had never been exposed to such a large amount of energy began to absorb it on their own, but the amount they absorbed without his intervention was only 1/1000 of what they would absorb under his control.

But that's not all. Since the amount of energy was so vast, there was always an excess that the cells couldn't absorb. The unused energy had to find a place to be stored, and it found one — or rather, it could be said that his body created one.

It created a place where energy could be stored and converted into its own energy, under his control. Over time, he could even produce it himself.

But this place was still in the process of forming, and he hadn't noticed it yet because of the changes that had already occurred.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I'll check more later," he said, still absorbing energy and resuming his journey to the infinite edge of the omniverse.
