Chapter 26: Origin Path... Uncontrollable Decay...
Staring at the moon that hung in the vast origin skies, Matthew’s lips curved into a faint smile.
’Well, it’s time to upgrade my ability.’
For now, the adamantium had successfully restricted his power, allowing him to freely hold any object without consequence.
He slowly lowered his gaze to the upgrade crystal, which shimmered with a mesmerizing multicolored glow.
’Based on my knowledge, to use this upgrade crystal, all one needs to do is absorb it slowly.’
Matthew thought silently and, without wasting a moment, began the process without hesitation.
The upgrade crystal radiated a type of origin energy, but this one felt significantly purer and more potent than the norm. It carried a weight that seemed to press gently against his skin, humming with power just waiting to be claimed.
Just like how origin crystals were used to rapidly enhance one’s cultivation, the upgrade crystals operated similarly, only on a much higher level.
With the crystal cradled in his palm, Matthew guided his origin energy, linking it to his ability—Uncontrollable Decay.
His energy flowed forward in steady waves, surrounding the upgrade crystal and initiating the absorption.
Time slipped by slowly.
Soon, a frown emerged on Matthew’s face.
