Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven

Chapter 47: Path Resonance (3)

Grey slowly opened his eyes, which shone with purple-black energy. An oppressive aura emerged from him — for the first time ever, he felt absolutely powerful beyond words.

”My body is several times stronger than before,” Grey said as he waved his hand, which seemingly disappeared from moving too fast.

The air around his hands literally twisted when he moved them.

This was the perfect body tempering and refining one could achieve.

”Not only that, the issue of lacking nexus energy is also over.” Grey smiled, and instantly, purple-black nexus energy burst out from his body, spreading throughout the entire training room with an oppressive aura.

He believed he could now utilize his techniques twice as effectively as before.

Especially sword energy — it had also changed slightly with the nexus energy being refined.

Of course, the most impactful change was none other than his mind and soul.

He was now officially an Esper. He could spread his consciousness out and see in all four directions within a 5-meter radius. Not only that, he could utilize telekinesis now!

Grey turned slightly toward the weapon rack in the training room and stretched his arm out in a grabbing motion. His consciousness and the rack were within range of each other. Instantly, one of the swords on the rack trembled heavily and tried to detach from it.

It wasn’t precise control, and Grey felt the connection being cut off here and there. He believed it might be due to the fact that he didn’t have a telekinesis technique to utilize it at full power yet.

However, just as he thought that, his mind stirred — his cheat was activated once again.

[Your comprehension defies the heaven! By utilizing Telekinesis for the first time, you’ve grasped the ’Heaven-Seizing Hand Technique.’]

Instantly, Grey’s control over telekinesis became perfect. The trembling sword now steadily came out from the rack and flew toward Grey, rotating around him.

An invisible hand was now holding onto the hilt of the sword. Of course, the hand was essentially telekinesis — no one would be able to see it as it was an imaginary energy formed from Psionic energy, or rather, his ”Nexus Psionic Energy.”

”This is perfect.” Grey exclaimed. Immediately, several other swords on the rack also jumped off and joined the first sword in revolving around him.

But the max he could control was only ten swords.

”That’s my limit.” Grey smiled, pleased.

People couldn’t even lift one properly at his level, yet he could lift ten. It was all thanks to his technique and Nexus Psionic Energy.

Then, he tried all sorts of various moves with the swords — from making them form a sword array behind him to other cool poses, which he immediately took photos of, with nexus energy pouring out from his body, elevating the aesthetics of the pictures.

He looked exactly like one of those powerful game characters from his old world — it was like a wish come true.

”I’m great, aren’t I?” Grey proudly exclaimed as he praised himself.

After he was done taking cool pictures of himself, he moved onward to the special ability he awakened as an all-powerful Esper.

And that ability was called Shapeless!

Grey’s eyes darkened. ”What the heck is Shapeless?”

In the chart of Esper ability lists, he had never encountered the name ”Shapeless” before.

Hell, he would’ve been satisfied if it was at least a fire manipulation ability.

He didn’t ask for those power Esper abilities where they could literally infuse the governing laws of the world into their attacks.

”A shapeless, massless thing...” Grey memorized what the ability did.

From it, he understood that the ability was something similar to himself — it could change into whatever he desired.

”Huh, wait. It grows alongside me and has similar strength to me?” Grey’s eyes shot open. He hadn’t exactly paid attention to its details before, but now rereading it, he realized his ability was not useless at all!

”Wouldn’t that essentially mean my enemies will be fighting two Greys?” Grey realized how broken this ability was.

He directly summoned the ability — but then nothing came out.

”...” Grey fell silent when he saw this.

”Right, I should imagine something to summon it...”

Grey closed his eyes and visualized a sword in his mind — a sword with an intricate design, its long blade glowing with faint purple circles along the edges.

Immediately, a purple-black energy condensed in the air, and the exact sword he visualized appeared right in front of him.

”It worked!” Grey exclaimed as he grabbed hold of the sword.

He gripped it with full strength, and indeed, it felt real and hard — like cold steel infused with rare cosmic ores.

Grey infused nexus energy into it, and immediately, the dim purple circles on it glowed and surged across the sword, making it look extremely menacing and domineering.

But he didn’t stop there. He visualized something else after that — the shapeless ability crumbled and immediately a bar of red color was formed.

It was a brick!

”So anything is possible?” Grey suddenly had an idea.

He dissolved the brick and visualized something else — something simple and cute... a cat, a white fluffy cat.

He wanted to see if he could actually make a cat.

Boom!

The shapeless ability took effect again, and out of the condensed energy, a cute, fluffy creature came out of it.

It had a small frame, long ears, and one big fluffy tail. It looked slightly different from a usual cat, but it was without a doubt a cat.

”Huh...?”

The small fluffy creature’s ears twitched as it slowly opened its cute eyes. It had deep purple pupils and stared at Grey with its head tilted.

”...” Grey had a deadpan look on his face when he saw this.

He underestimated his ability.

No — he severely underestimated it.

He had just actually created a life form!

From his imagination!

This was not normal!

Not even those super-rare Esper abilities could give birth to life.

And the most important thing was this — the fluffy creature had similar strength to him. It couldn’t use nexus energy, so it should be slightly weaker, but it could definitely burst out with his level of strength in battle.

Grey crouched down and closely examined the fluffy cat he had created with a silent look. The cat also stared back at him before meowing slightly and coming close to him, rubbing against his hand.

Grey caressed the head of the cat, and the cat enjoyed it.

”You will be called Mimi from today,” Grey said with a serious look on his face. ”Welcome to the family, Mimi.”

As if understanding him, the cat purred and smiled at Grey.

Seeing this, Grey was even more flabbergasted.

”Wait, you can understand me?” Grey inquired.

Hearing this, the cat gave him a full nod.

”...” Grey was stunned. ”Isn’t my ability a bit too broken?”

Mimi purred in response.
