Chapter 485: Development
Northern and Ryan were in the room for a while, silence easily reigned in the atmosphere and both of them seemed to have no problem with it.
Northern was occupied with his thoughts while Ryan was just being Ryan.
Northern had not just been laying around for the past three days since he opened his eyes.
He had actually been training, of course, alone-to avoid casualties since he had no way of knowing how bad his punch would hit or the limit of his strength.
But he was spending the time getting acclimated with the new talent abilities he had, the movements of his body, and most importantly his eyes.
Sadly, he had lost two important talents: Eyes of the Intent and SpeedWalk.
Eyes of Intent had been integrated into Chaos Eyes and Speedwalk was absorbed by the Void that reformed his body.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Causing his body to have super fast reflexes and movement. His basic stride alone was fast enough to catch up with fast movements during intense battle.
And when he put more effort? He imagined the fight with the Emperor, how fast the man was... and Northern felt like he would be able to catch up now.
For his cloning ability which had been evolved to [Duplicate] he gained a new talent ability named [Mirror split] which allowed his clones to be able to copy the traits of him and his enemies, mimicking their techniques or powers for a short duration.
Hence the clones could not just replicate his and his enemy's abilities but could also adapt based on the situation.
It was a great boost to the ability.
And sadly, that was all he received. Out of the three owned talents he had, two had become integrated into his body.
Northern felt sad and happy at the same time. Because there was evidence that they were effective. His movement was one thing.
And his eyes? His eyes were on a whole 'nother level. But at the very least, now he had four owned talents, one of which is the talent of a Paragon that he had not even begun to scratch the surface of.
But the highlight of his growth to a Master was his body, his eyes and the Limitless Void. First was his body, Northern had trained in the Limitless Void, alongside Black Mamba and Night Terror-who also had gone through changes of their own.
The cold of the border was unhealthy, and unnatural, it was a phenomenon caused by something that no one has been able to discover yet.
And when he first began to settle in after his evolution, it was difficult, but that was only for a few hours.
He literally felt his muscles thicken to retain heat, and his skin before his very eyes developed a frost-resistant layer.
He felt like this feature had also contributed to his body's ability to analyze and adapt to a certain threat.
But that was not as impressive as finding out he could move the position of his organs around
his body.
It was insane, inside his body felt like it was a formless fluid that he could just move around and adapt anyhow.
Those were already amazing developments. And then his eyes.
First, Northern's perception of the Chaos had skyrocketed.
Not only could he now perceive the instability, cracks, and weaknesses in reality itself. He could also see where physical laws begin to break down or where distortions in time, space,
and matter manifest.
This allowed him to exploit or manipulate chaotic energies and tear into the very fabric of reality—which was how he was able to in an instant find out what the humans of the Central Plains have not been able to discover for over thousands of years.
The source of the intense cold. Of course, Northern kept his mouth shut anyway, it wasn't an imminent threat and he felt it was a piece of information that was going to serve him a great price of trade later.
Northern now sees the essence of living beings, from their souls to their deepest desires,
fears, and traumas.
He can sense the flow of soul energy, detect hidden auras, and observe how souls are tied to both the material and immaterial realms.
And those were just its passive effects. Yes. Chaos Eyes now had active effects.
