Kyle consud another Energy Stone and focused on the Energy coursing through his body.
It had been a century since he started absorbing Energy, and strengthening his Center had beco really difficult lately.
Finally, he felt like he had hit a hard wall.
His Center couldn't be strengthened anymore.
'And that should be it,' he thought as he put the remaining Energy Stones back into his Soul Space. 'Finally, I can beco a Unique Crusher.'
Kyle closed his eyes and pulled in the Energy around him, shoving all of it into his Center.
His Center was filled with liquid Energy, but there were also a couple of stones inside it.
As he pushed more Energy into his Center, he saw the whirl within it intensify. The solid stones swirled around, hitting each other.
Over ti, the stones grew larger and began to attract one another.
So ti later, all of the stones stuck together, spinning in the middle of his Center.
The Energy moved back and forth, and the stones began to fuse together.
Kyle gritted his teeth as he pushed even more Energy into his Center. He felt like his Center was about to explode under all that pressure, but it kept holding firm.
'Just a bit more!' he thought as he felt like he was about to explode.
The new stone grew, the swirling Energy rounding its edges.
'A little more! Co on!'
The last bumps on the stone vanished, and it beca a smooth sphere.
BOOOM!
At that mont, a wave of Energy ca out of Kyle's body. The wave of Energy shook his house and traveled for thousands of kiloters.
So of the Seekers on Orchis looked in his direction, but they quickly got back to their own things. Occurrences like this were normal. People broke through all the ti.
After the wave of Energy vanished, Kyle sighed in relief.
He looked at the solid sphere of Energy in his Center, surrounded by liquid Energy. Half of the volu of his Center was solid, while the other half was still liquid.
'Finally, I'm a Unique Crusher!' Kyle thought with excitent.
As he kept looking at the sphere, one of his brows rose. 'You know, if I hadn't known about the Legendary Realm before this, I would now suspect that it exists. I an, half solid, half liquid? Is there a way to make all of this solid?'
'Anyway, I should focus on becoming a Legendary Crusher.'
...
'But how?' he thought, blinking a couple of tis. 'Like, what do I need to do? I can't shove more Energy into my Center. I feel like I will die if I do that. After all, the walls of my Center are not strong enough.'
'The Chief Overseer said that it's different for everyone. If your impact is too small, you can try everything, and you won't beco a Legendary Crusher. If your impact is sufficient, even the most pointless act can make you advance. At least, that's what he said.'
Kyle scratched the back of his head.
'Not sure what I should do. I refuse to believe that I haven't done enough. If I can't beco a Legendary Crusher with all the shit I've done and caused, nobody can.'
After so seconds of confusion, Kyle absentmindedly went through his belongings.
Energy Stones, tals, materials for Formation Arrays, weapons, Beast Cores...
'Huh?' Kyle thought as his eyes fell onto an object.
It was a 40-centiter-long, grey horn.
'What was that thing called again? I think it was the horn of so kind of Karmic Beast or sothing. I rember getting this from the Natural Trial in which I beca a Legendary Primal.'
As he looked at the horn, he felt strange. Sohow, it looked like it was shining, even though he could tell that it definitely wasn't shining.
For so reason, this horn felt really important and useful.
His eyes had often passed over the horn within the last couple of millennia, and every ti, it looked plain and unassuming.
It was just the horn of a weak beast.
But now, it felt important.
Kyle pulled the horn out of his Soul Space and looked at it.
'I feel like... this can help .'
Kyle looked at the horn for a couple of seconds before shrugging. 'Might as well try.'
Then, he increased the size of his head and ate the horn with one bite.
As soon as the horn entered his mouth, it broke down into tiny strands of Energy. There was barely any Energy inside the horn, and it also didn't seem different from Neutral Energy. It was just regular Energy.
Yet, as the Energy moved towards his Center, sothing around Kyle changed. The Karmic Bonds coming out of his body vibrated.
Red and green Karmic Bonds shook in unison, and as the Energy from the horn continued traveling to Kyle's Center, it transford into sothing else.
The Energy still looked like normal Energy, but there was also sothing more to it now. Kyle felt like this looked familiar.
'This feels like the ti I used Death to break down Laws, except that the opposite is probably happening. The Energy isn't being simplified but made more complex.'
Finally, the strand of Energy reached his Center, but it didn't truly enter. Instead of flowing into the middle, it flowed into the walls of Kyle's Center.
For a mont, Kyle's entire Center shone with a white light.
WHOOOOOOM!
An ungodly amount of Energy burst into Kyle's body without his permission. The Energy flooded into the walls of his Center, and monts later, even more Energy flooded into the Center itself.
The sphere in the middle of Kyle's Center consud all of the liquid Energy around it and grew at a rapid pace. The pressure inside the Center increased, but it didn't hurt at all.
'It feels like this is supposed to happen.'
The sphere expanded rapidly, and within 20 seconds, it touched the walls of Kyle's Center.
Yet, it didn't stop.
More and more pressure was exerted on the Center.
CRK!
A small crack appeared in the walls of Kyle's Center. Such a crack represented a mortal danger, but Kyle didn't feel like he was in danger.
CRK!
Another crack.
Two more.
Within seconds, Kyle's entire Center was covered in cracks, and it began to shake violently.
Kyle's entire body shook, and he felt like he was about to explode with power. He couldn't resist the surging power inside of him.
"RAAAAAAH!"
And shouted.
BANG!
Kyle's Center exploded, the fragnts of its walls turning into more Energy.
The Energy of the walls entered the sphere as well, and monts later, several crevices appeared on its surface. However, these were not signs of damage.
No, they looked like deliberate carvings.
The carvings shone with an azure color, the sa color as his Infused Center Law.
A mont later, all of the Energy Pathways, which used to lead to Kyle's Center, rearranged themselves and connected to the carvings on the sphere.
Energy moved through Kyle's body again.
WHOOOOOOM!
And a powerful wave of Energy washed over Orchis.
Kyle looked with excitent at his new Center.
Although calling it a Center was no longer accurate. A Center was a container.
This sphere was not a container. It was the content of the forr container.
A more accurate na would be...
The appearance of a Beast Core shot through Kyle's mind.
'A Core.'
'When I beca a Legendary Primal, all of my Clusters vanished, leaving just my body.'
'Now, sothing similar happened.'
An excited smile appeared on Kyle's face.
"That confirms it!"
"I've done it!"
"I'm a Legendary Crusher!"
