The Ancient Flux was the source of the ancient energy, but it was not separate from the Evolution Tree. After all, even the Path Construct constantly interacted with the Evolution Tree, but it was not a direct part of it.
Now, Adam could use the ancient energy as he wished. He understood this, but he still had to learn what this power was truly capable of. At the moment, he was only thinking about simple applications.
But the Ancient Flux was not just an energy tank, but part of Adam's power, interacting with everything that was at the Evolution Tree, including Silvana through the Evolution Vein.
It was in the Evolution Vein that all of Silvana's abilities and their shared abilities were stored. If she had not been there, Adam would not have been able to use the Imaginary Cut or Future of the Past.
Every Phantom was in a similar situation. Some particularly powerful abilities could only be activated through their Operator.
