Accepting my ignorance, the Engineer resumed his initial explanation, ignoring Dawn's mystery entirely.
There was no point in forcing the issue. No matter how much I tried, I wouldn't uncover that identity.
This was the law of Nothingness.
"Among these powerful abilities, some follow the law of Chaos. These are powers centered on destruction and close combat... like your Shadow Adaptation, or your father's Absolute Manipulator."
"My father?"
Ignoring everything else he had said, my mind zeroed in on those final words.
He mentioned my father out of nowhere.
"He had a power like that too?!"
I asked, and the Engineer nodded.
"Abraham Starlight was special in his own way. He far exceeded my expectations time and time again. Using the system that served him, along with his own strength, he forged a brand-new path of power that belonged solely to him."
