Spectral Regalia

Ch 72: Departure

Avrin was currently leaning against a tree for support. After having left the city, he found there were no suitable places to camp and had decided to just find an area with a small clearing. Focusing carefully to inspect his body, he felt his mind drift, as if it had transitioned.

In his view was a site that would make him grin had it not been for the fact that in this state he was unable to control his body. Thankfully he was still aware of the surroundings due to his Divine Sense, and leaving the space-like place his mind was in would only take an instant.

Carefully gazing around his body, the purple Type 1 particles had nearly vanished. Feeling around more, he could see that over 80% of his body's being was now made up of black Type 2 particles that were double in size to Type 1s. Avrin was ecstatic. He had felt that during his travel, he was steadily getting stronger, and this was a joyous moment for him.

While 80% were Type 2 particles, 10% were still Type 1, while the remaining 10% were C.Particles. When Avrin had begun his meditation, in the beginning he had stopped doing useless body exercises such as pushups and sit ups. The only real physical training that he needed was to practice techniques.

Considering his body's way of advancing, exercise no longer affected him, and would only be done by habit. When he first entered this world, his exercises would be considered somewhat effective, but due to his rapid growth, it was now useless.

Avrin had estimated his current strength to be nearly twice as strong as he was before. It wasn't a case of estimating, the feeling was quite close to twice his energy mass and strength as before. This caused him to wonder about the method of meditation.

"-Type 2 particles... I should consider their effectiveness. Each particle takes a few atoms of dark matter to create. I can't really see that in depth yet though.., hmm... This is confusing. If I remember right, an 80kg body would have an 8 with 27 zeroes. I'm not sure of my weight, but I'll round it off to 70, a 7 with 27 zeroes added. That's quite a long number. Then again, my body isn't made of atoms; it's made of particles-"

Avrin quietly laughed; as such a thing would confuse even the greatest scientists in his universe. They would kill for a chance to dissect him. But if ever a chance appeared, he would be sure to dissect them instead.

"-If my body was made up of atoms, I can't really guess the number. Since my particles are larger than the average atom that makes up a human body, it makes it a lot easier to count them, not to mention that my particles have doubled in size.

If a Type 1 particle is twice the size of an atom, and a Type 2 particle consists of 2 Type 1s, it should be 4x the size of an atom. 7 with 27 zeroes, my body was made up of enough Type 1 particles to equal two humans. No wonder my strength is as large as it is. God surely doesn't play around when it comes to creation-"

Carefully examining more, he began to continue on in his mind. He wanted to be sure of as many facts as possible regarding his advancement. "-I'll take a guess and say by the end of this I'll have 3,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Type 2 particles, halving my body's amount. Such a thing... I wish I took more classes in science; I only have some basic knowledge to go by.

Thankfully, as I advance, I can tap into some memories that I have forgotten. But how will my body cope if I continue to form? And I don't feel any real change other than strength from half the particles.

I'm truly worried that my body will break apart, but then again, maybe I'm worrying too much. These Type 2 particles are really something. 80% should be 2.8e+27 (I'm really sure if i did this calculation correctly maths isn't my strong suite so i'm expecting to be corrected)) Hmm 1% should be 3.5e+25, so for every 3.5+25 amount of Type 2 particles, my power exactly increases by 1%-"
