Nick listened to the Adversary talking about creating Pure Energy for nine more years.
During that time, he also focused on his Zephyx Manipulation.
Sadly, despite the long time, Nick was still nowhere near done with his new ability.
It would still take a long time to complete since this one was far more complex than his mind-reading ability.
Nick delivered a bunch of new books to the researchers, who had managed to create a transportable version of the Star Energy generator by now.
Step one had officially been accomplished.
Now, they just needed to make a bit of Pure Energy, but that would take a long time.
The first prototype of the new medication was also already finished, and some of the researchers were taking it in secret.
On the surface, nothing seemed different, but Nick could see that there was less fear and anxiety in many of the researchers.
