"Cool, thanks for the update, system," Parker muttered, barely paying attention. Apparently, his Celestial Threads were doing their thing, not just pulling in Ether but all kinds of magical energy around him. That sounded amazing at first—faster growth, right?—until the next notification dropped.
[Ding! Energies absorbed have been turned into raw Omni Energy suitable for host's body!
Host's progress will decrease but will be more grounded and firm.]
Parker blinked, but honestly, the system could've been shouting warnings at him and he wouldn't have cared. He was in the zone. The energy kept pouring in, filling him to the brim. Omni Energy, huh? Whatever. It felt incredible.
His mind latched onto the energy like a lifeline, pulling more and more into himself. The Omni Energy filled him, stretching his very essence until he thought he might burst.
Then it hit—a ripple of power blasting through him.
