Chapter 513: Pulse (1/2)

Gravis had declared his stance towards Heaven and had taken the oath. Yet, to fulfill that oath, he first needed enough power. So, what would be his next course of action?

First of all, Gravis needed to become familiar with his new powers. His father had told him that humans would receive a new weapon when they reached the Nascent Nourishing Realm. Even though Gravis didn't know what that weapon was, he already felt a peculiar feeling that hadn't been there before.

It felt like his centers of power were even more connected than before. When he had been in the Unity Realm, it had felt like cables connected them, but now it felt like they were the same thing, just in different containers. It was hard to put this feeling into words, but this was the closest analogy Gravis could find.

Gravis moved his power around so that everything was perfectly equalized in his being. His body, his Spirit, and his lightning all had exactly the same amount of power now.

Whooom!

Gravis felt some kind of resonation inside his being. Additionally, he also felt like his being was about to pulse. The feeling could be likened to someone knowing that they would be sneezing in a couple of seconds. The pulsing wasn't happening yet, but Gravis knew that he could will it to happen.

Whooom!

Gravis' being pulsed, and he felt a burst of power coming out of his being. Yet, this additional power could not be used like this, making Gravis fall into thought again.

He remembered the feeling of the pulse and moved the power of his being around some more. Gravis realized that he could summon the pulse even when not everything was equalized. Yet, surprisingly, the pulse never became stronger than when Gravis pushed all his power into one center of power. Additionally, that center of power also couldn't be increased further with the pulse. 300% of his power was the maximum.

”Hm,” Gravis hummed as he thought some more about this. ”There has to be some use for this.”

Gravis made the pulse appear again and tried to concentrate it into one center of power. Whenever his being pulsed, that center of power would reach a power of 300%.

Gravis scratched his chin. ”Hm, I can't get past the 300% barrier in regards to one center of power, no matter what I do.”

Then, Gravis smirked.

”But I found something else.”

Whooom! BANG!

Gravis' being pulsed again as he jumped forward with his body and lightning acceleration. Yet, surprisingly, Gravis was even faster than he should be.

”Just as I thought,” Gravis muttered with a smirk. ”I only have 100% of power per center of power, which, when added, would be 300% of power. Moving my power around allows me to increase one of them to 300%, and the pulse also allows me to increase one to 300%.”

”Yet, they're not mutually exclusive.”

Just now, Gravis had moved all his power into his lightning, increasing its power to 300%, while his body and Spirit both had 0%. Yet, by using the pulse, Gravis managed to increase his body's power to 300% for a split second without taking away any of his lightning's power.

This meant that Gravis could now elevate two centers of power to 300% simultaneously.

Normally, such a discovery wouldn't make much of a difference to him. After all, he could just rapidly switch between the centers of power that he wanted.

Yet, there were two important differences.

First of all, Gravis could now use his physical power when he accelerated with lightning, which made him faster. Another usage would be the creation of a more powerful Lightning Crescent. Usually, Gravis would only be able to use a Lightning Crescent with 150% lightning and 150% Spirit. Now, he could use a 300/300 one.

Another difference was that the pulse didn't eat up as many resources. For some reason, when Gravis unleashed an attack while being on 300% of his power via the pulse, the used resources would only eat up the equivalent of if he had used it with 100%.

Where did all this extra power come from? After all, Gravis was using an amount of power greater than his whole being. This power and Energy had to come from somewhere, right?

Surprisingly, the extra power came from the environment. His pulse would connect with the Energy in the environment and manipulate it. The Energy surrounding Gravis would then directly enter him for a short time and leave again.
