"Huh?"
Grey's expression changed instantly as the unfamiliar voice echoed in his mind.
Who was it?
And more importantly, how had he failed to notice anyone nearby?
His perception was sharp. His mind sense was active. Yet there had been no warning at all. No fluctuation. No presence.
Could this entity exist beyond the range of mental perception?
That alone was terrifying.
But what truly unsettled Grey was something else entirely.
A method that could boost him to four hundred percent output and allow him to remain in that state temporarily without suffering rebound damage?
Did something like that even exist in this world?
Nexus Overclock relied on the Golden Ratio and Nexus energy mimicking its structure. Even then, every increase beyond safe limits carried consequences.
The reserve cycle was also sustained by the Golden Ratio, running constantly in the background with minimal energy loss.
Grey ran through countless possibilities in his mind.
Nothing fit.
