After experimenting with his abilities, Nick went back to the suppressed Adversary to learn more about Star Energy.
Sadly, with Nick's increased intelligence, the inefficient way of communicating with it became even more frustrating.
However, while he listened to the Adversary, he could still focus on his Zephyx Manipulation.
This time, he was primarily looking at the gigantic diagrams that were his abilities.
Maybe now, he could attempt to understand them.
Attempt was the right word here.
The diagrams were still far too complex, but Nick could at least partially deduce small parts of them.
For the next four years, he listened to the Adversary while looking at the diagrams.
He didn't even understand 0.1% of one of them.
However, he had still made significant progress, and he had already improved his ability to read minds significantly.
