Brute Power

Kaizen's transformation left its mark on the battlefield, mainly because of the newly-evolved man's intense aura of power.

Golden particles, remnants of the evolutionary process, floated in the air like fleeting constellations amid the ashes and falling snow, creating a spectacle that captured everyone's attention.

His body, more than ever, still seemed to be enveloped by an inner light, a pulsating aura that could be felt by everyone. Kaizen's eyes, once expressive, now radiated an abnormal calm. His irises, once ordinary, shone like wells of pure energy, reflecting the base essence of his new self.

Cephal looked at Kaizen with astonishment and respect. He muttered something for a few seconds, but everyone's attention was totally captured by Kaizen.
