ATLA, In A Darker World

Chapter 14 Captured

Possession, immortality, invisibility, intangibility, shape-shifting, transportation through dimensions..... And so much more.

Luca had seen it himself. Hei Bai, a panda spirit could change form to a giant monster with increased physical prowess.

He could instantaneously move from one place to another in a split second quite similar to the body flicker technique and could release a powerful sonic scream.

Why couldn't humans do anything close? Because their Chi wasn't designed to do so? Unless the Lion turtles came again to impart something that didn't belong to them.

Humans naturally couldn't bend. So the Lion turtles had to tweak it to fit their energy type.

'Well .....'. Of course, all these thoughts were his mere assumptions. Although he believed they were well-founded and perhaps carried a large amount of truth within them, it was ultimately still an assumption.

As for how and why he could come to such conclusions?

All these questions were things fans would use to compare the two worlds and come out at the end of the debate that the Ninja world was stronger than the Avatar world. Back in his previous life, he was one of those netizens who had a lot of spare time to argue on threads and forums on such topics heatedly.

Ahem! If there was another hidden benefit to transversing other than plot knowledge and past life knowledge, then it was an overly active imagination gained when the above two were combined.

Numerous possibilities, assumptions, and ideas could be drawn easily for a better advantage. And what his status panel was displaying literally screamed opportunity.

Unfortunately.....

'You've gotta be kidding me'.

The information was clear enough to understand. This special Chi was gained and produced by spirits.

No normal human should even be able to gain access to what was within him currently. There were probably only two exceptions.

One! The Avatar.

And Two, Himself.

But both named exceptions had …. problems.

Just like any regular human, Spirit Chi didn't belong to the Avatar, nor could it be produced by him/her. That was what Raava was for.

Among other uses, Raava supplied the Avatar with endless cosmic Chi surpassing what anyone else could harness. She held the spirit Chi for the Avatar as well as the rest of the elements.

Unless the Avatar state was activated, no Avatar could gain access to Spirit Chi in their base form. Plus, the Avatar state was probably regarded as an ultimate move, the last trump card for each reincarnation cycle to defeat whatever difficulties they faced.

After gaining mastery of four elements, there were rarely any enemies that needed the use of the trump card. Some Avatars most likely wouldn't use it at all in a span of years.

If Luca had to sum it up, it was rarely used for experimentation as they were already powerful enough. Anything extra was unnecessary.

This was their disadvantage.

Then there was the second exception. Luca.

Unlike the Avatar, he could access this new energy source in his base form and could control it without the need for external help (Raava)

Well, he had no advanced form to begin with.

But his disadvantage was stated in the system panel. Unlike the Avatar, he had no Raava and hence, no one to provide him an endless supply of Spirit Chi.
