Arran’s plan was simple. Grant Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist the power to help them in this situation so that they can fight the decadent horror and buy time for reinforcements to arrive.But how to achieve this was the tricky part…Arran carefully explained his plan to the colonel and Poltergeist.You see, to grant Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist enough strength to battle the decadent horror was very easy. They just needed to possess the World Essence Pulse Bracers, which could enhance and strengthen the powers of others to unimaginable levels. But the problem is that the bracers already had an owner.The Guardian of the bracers was effectively the artifact's owner who could use all of its powers without limitations. There can only ever be one guardian for any of the seven ultimate artifacts at any given time.Once the status of guardian is given to another, then the previous guardian seizes to be the owner of the artifact. That was how Arran’s mom, Azalea, was the previous guardian and
Technically, Arran was also an earthling. He had been born and raised on earth for the first nineteen years of his life so he also shared in this talent blessing of the spark of origin. This was probably another reason his ancestor, Lachlan, had sent Arran and his parents to Earth.Now, by manipulating this connection, Arran could use the World Essence Pulse Bracers as a conduit to share some of the spark’s powers with Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist, giving them the necessary strength to fight the horror and aid them all.Of course, this was the first time Arran was attempting something like this so there were bound to be some unknown risks involved. Plus, even if everything went smoothly, it was a gamble just how much of the spark’s power Arran could share with the two of them and how much more powerful they would become.But regardless of how much of the spark’s power Arran could share, even if it was only a smidgen of it, such power was enough to skyrocket the colonel and Poltergeist
Arran’s instruction to the World Essence Pulse Bracers was simple; share the earth’s power with Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist. Immediately, the bracers went to work.Already bathing in the light of the bracers, colonel Vehe and Poltergeist quickly started feeling changes in their bodies. Previously, when standing in the light of the World Essence Pulse Bracers, it was like being enveloped in a warm down coat which gave them a snug and cozy feeling.But now, it felt like tiny tendrils of liquid were running along their body and boring into the pores of their skin. It was invasive, but not overly so that they wanted to resist.Still, being invaded by something foreign was uncomfortable and if not for Arran’s warning, the two of them would’ve fought back.The process was fast and with little hindrance. With Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist cooperating, a sudden change began in their bodies.Accompanying the feeling of power entering their bodies was a feeling of being filled up. It was like t
From beginning to end, Arran watched as Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist were infused with energy by the World Essence Pulse Bracers, filling their bodies with starlight Essence from the spark of origin.As the guardian of the bracers serving as a conduit, Arran had an intuitive feeling about what was happening within them. It was merely a crude infusion of energy into their bodies to elevate their energy levels, which would increase their power. But this was only a quantitative change with no significant change in the quality of their strength at all.In comparison, it was like adding more bullets to a gun. Doing this naturally increased the firing rate of the gun, making it even more deadly in combat. But it didn’t effectively enhance its lethality.The true qualitative change only occurred when the limit of their current bodies was reached and immediately broken with the help of the bracers.This limit was naturally the genetic limit, or lock placed on most mortal beings. By breaking t
When Arran saw Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist opening their eyes and falling into a daze, he immediately reminded them, “Take your time to adjust to your current state. You might feel disoriented at first but that’s normal. Don’t rush.”Hearing Arran’s reminder, the two humans gradually adjusted to their current bodies.Because of the change in their bodies, a lot of things differed from before chief of them being their perception of the world, which had undergone a very significant transformation.Previously, like all humans, colonel Vehe and Poltergeist possessed a very limited perception of the world because of the innate deficiencies of the human race. These deficiencies force the brain to ignore many pieces of information about the world, causing humans to be very average in many aspects.Be it sight, smell, or hearing, Humans were not very exceptional in utilizing these senses. Their hearing and sense of smell weren’t as good as those of dogs nor could they see as clearly as a fly
But the greatest change that occurred was naturally between the two of them. Their powers had greatly advanced, almost to the point of being unique abilities from before.The information about the change in their powers was more detailed than that about their new perception of the outside world, which allowed Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist to tell what was different about their powers.The first difference was naturally the growth of their physical strength.There was a massive amount of energy contained within the bodies of the colonel and Poltergeist. Such energy was greater than that of a nuclear bomb and seemed as vast as the stars. It made their bodies so strong that it felt like they could punch a hole through the very fabric of space.All this energy contained within the tiny bodies of the two humans gave them a feeling of fullness and they had the urge to vent. But the duo dared not for fear of the devastation they might cause.Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist were uncomfortable wit
Barely a minute had passed since Colonel Vehe and Poltergeist opened their eyes and they had already adapted fully to their new strength.A keen observer, Arran watched silently by the side while all this happened. Although he was anxious about the situation, Arran didn’t hurry and gave them as much time as needed.Finally, when Arran judged that the colonel and Poltergeist were sufficiently adapted, he spoke up, saying, “How are you two doing? Have you gotten a hang of your new powers? Can you explain to me everything about your current state?”Arran’s words pulled the colonel’s and Poltergeist’s attention back to the present, making them remember the situation they were in.Immediately, the two of them responded to Arran and began explaining the changes in them as best as they could. This didn’t take long. In no time, Arran got a grasp of the situation.On this note, Arran could not be any more ecstatic than if he had won the lottery because, in a sense, Arran had.What was the most
Arran, having said his last piece, gestured for the duo to be silent for a moment before turning to look at the battlefield. Reaching out with his mind, Arran sent a message to Joyner and the others who were fighting.“Everyone, listen up. I’ve managed to find some help and I’m sending them your way to help out right now. They should be able to contribute to delaying the enemy while we wait. Their powers are special so accommodate them as much as possible.”Once Arran was done sending the message, he quickly cut off his connection with the others. But Arran’s message had alerted the five of them, causing them to pay attention to his side.During the battle, the five Aeth had naturally been aware of Colonel Vehe’s and Poltergeist’s presence when they first arrived and they also noticed some of Arran’s actions too. But not knowing what he was up to and having to focus on the battle, they couldn’t spare any attention for the trio.While it seemed skeptical what kind of help Colonel Vehe
