Chapter 1673: A change
Family was a complicated topic for Lex. His parents were jerks, his grandfather was worse than a pig, and though his ancestors hadn’t done anything to provoke him, he just had developed a general distrust of his own family.
That said, he had a decent relationship with his sisters, mainly because they were just as much victims of his terrible family as him - if not even more in Moon’s case. He’d also learned that his family had some apparently mysterious background and that if anyone in other realms detected that he was descendant of the Sephore bloodline, he could attract trouble.
Lex didn’t pay too much attention to that, though. He had no problem attracting trouble without needing to rely on his ancestry to help him out.
Even so, for the first time, his family had managed to attract his attention because this Flow was by no means a normal technique. Even he, who had seen no shortage of incredible feats and techniques from talents across the universe, was impressed.
As soon as he extended the Flow state beyond his body, Lex had to divert a majority of his brain power on processing all the information he was getting. It was as if the state allowed him to read the flow of every form of existence he could naturally sense.
So he could see how light was traveling. He could sense how sound carried across Abaddon. He could sense the countless forms of energy in the air, flowing with furious currents, waging an unseen, undetected war all around them. Through his tenet, he could even sense how the laws were changing from moment to moment.
These were all things he could already sense, to a degree, but entering the Flow state multiplied the extent manifold. Much more important than that, though, were the patterns Lex saw in everything.
It was as if... he could see the path of least resistance, but in everything. Since this was the first time he used the ability like this, and hadn’t been looking for something specific, he was just overloaded with every single possibility around him.
But, being in the Flow state as he was, he adapted instantly and returned his attention to the portals. Whereas the ability of his left eye previously allowed him to gain a tremendous amount of information about whatever he looked at, including weaknesses he could exploit, the Flow state just took that to a whole other level. It was as if, among the weaknesses he could detect, Flow allowed him to be able to pick out what was the best one.
