170 The Infinity Technique (2/2)

Before she said anything else, she indicated a plate of strange looking fruit that was sitting on the table.

”Here, take one,” she said.

Laz didn't move right away but instead looked at her in the eyes. Although he knew that this girl was not something he could fight against, that didn't mean he would just do whatever she said. This wasn't about his ego, he just wouldn't allow himself to be controlled so easily.

”Relax. It's nothing harmful. Take it.”

Laz reached foreward and grabbed a piece. The fruit looked like some sort of dried out peach. It had a golden sheen to it and was plump and moist in his hand. Without another thought, he placed it in his mouth and started chewing.

”The world that you know is wrong. However, that's not relly your fault either. I've seen some of the myths you have written down in the annauls of your history, things that seemed to have become more fiction than fact. And yet the truth is that all those things, as distorted as most of them now are, are based somewhere in fact. Such as this food here. It's actually something that your people used to claim was the food of the gods, one that could make a normal man immortal. But as you can tell, it's not actually that amazing.”

The piece of fruit, after Laz had chewed it, disolved in his mouth, sending bursts of flavor and waves of energy throughout his body. It was truely the most amazing thing he had ever tasted. Not only that, it also contained a decent amount of energy that he couldn't ignore. Instead, he circulated his energy in the way that he had discovered and spread the energy through his body, nourishing ever fiber of his flesh. This type of energy wasn't able to make an impact on the condensed ball sitting below his stomach, but it was able to provide a ton of additional strength to his flesh, skin and bones. Although he didn't know what it was, hearing her explination, he could imagine how if a mortal had taken it, assuming they survived, their entire bodies would go through an explosive change.

To a normal human, the person who had consumed it might really be considered a god.

”Now than, you've already reached the peak of what the condensation realm can allow. On top of that, due to some unknown amount of luck, you have strengthened your body to a point that would allow you to rise to the next realm. I honestly thought that you would have to rely on the pwoer of this ambrosia, but it seems like that little puddle you found did an excellent job on it's own. Ah well, i guess this can be considered a bonus.” The girl sighed as she explained.

”The next realm?” Laz had been wondering for some time and it looked like hew as going to get some answers.

”The Foundation realm. And after that, the wording on the next realm changes depending on who you ask, but the best way to describe it is the Void Origin realm.”

”Foundation? Void Origin?” Laz was confused.

”Alright, here is a way that you might understand. In the Awakening realm. you gather the materials. In the Condensation realm, you mix the building material, getting rid of the impurities and get the energy ready. In the Foundation Realm, you start laying down the base of power. The larger and stronger it is, the more you can put on top of it. In this realm, it's very, very important not to rush. And finally, the Void Origin realm. This is an abstract concept to you, but just imagine you are starting to put buildings on the foundation. You begin to build. As far as the other things go, you will figure those out on your own based on your own abilty. What I am truely curious about is how did you find that technique to build your energy. It's not simple and yet it conforms with the make up of the universe. For something so powerful to end up being learned by you... how did you do it?” The girl asked. This was actually the first time he had used this technique in front of her, but somehow it seemed to be something amazing.

”I made it up... actually...” Laz said, not sure how to respond.

”You made it up?”

”Yeah, based on how I saw energy flow...”

With this, the girl sat back and lost herself in thought. It was a while before she spoke again.

”Since you are the creator of this technique, then by law, you get to name it. Do you have a name for it?” She asked, looking at Laz.

”A name, why would I name it?”

”Because there are thousands of techniques out there. How would someone know what technique they were using if they didn't have names...?” The girl looked at Laz like she was looking at an idiot.

”Fine... Well...”

”What?”

”I guess I will call it, The Infinity Technique.”
