Chapter 122- Origin Mastery

"Can I ask… Uh, why are we going back to the basics, Kai? We already mastered that, didn't we?" Kaya asked.

"Did you?" Kai asked back which made Kaya speechless. Was he questioning the fact that she mastered control over Origin? The hell? She was Kaya Bladeheart. Her strength rivals that of Virtues even though she's an archangel.

"I did predict that you two didn't discover this. Well, I will explain either way since it's needed to move forward." Kai said as he sat down in front of the two.

"What is the one way you were taught to increase your Origin power."

"Meditation," Eva replied.

"Good. What does meditation exactly do?"

"Uh, it increases the quantity of Origin you have although it can't affect its purity."

"Correct."

"I mean, that's primary school level of inform-" Kaya was about to shake her head with a silly smile. Kai had praised her for mere basic information about Origin. However, her smile didn't last long.

"But you are not completely right. You see, what you were taught about Origin when you were kids isn't the full truth."

"What?"

"Most Origin users, including the strongest out there didn't really realize it. But, Origin is indeed based on the gifted talent that you acquire the moment you are born, and its purity is also based on that fact. The purer the Origin is, the stronger you can become. However, that isn't really the case. There is a way to increase your Origin's effectiveness even when you can't really control the purity."

Lifting his hand up, Kai channeled his Origin to the palm of his hand, forming a small ball. Its deep, powerful orange color fascinated the two girls.

'No matter how many times I see it, it's amazing. There is no other person that can come near that color.'

Most Origin users' powers have a rather translucent orange color and the stronger of them have a deeper color. But, Kai's looked way deeper and more pronounced than any other one neither of them had seen.

"How can we do that?" Kaya asked.

"Simple. You need to master your control over Origin. And by 'master', I mean to a cellular level. To truly advance your strength, you need to completely grasp Origin and make it your power. Right now, neither of you is anywhere near that."

"To a… cellular level?"

"You mean… We need to control every cell in our body?" Kaya continued Eva's question as she blinked confusedly. The human body had billions and billions of cells, how can they control each one of them individually?

"As I said before, it won't be easy. But, I will make sure both of you learn that in 45 days. If that happens and you truly reach that mastery, you can do this."

*Swish*

Suddenly, Kai's hand moved as he shockingly slit his own wrist. Under Eva and Kaya's surprised looks, blood oozed out of his wrist like a fountain but Kai's expression didn't change for even a split second. It was painful, but he didn't really care.

The two took a second to wake up from their shock only to realize something.

"The wound… It's not healing." Eva murmured.

For an Origin user, healing injuries, even the deeper ones, can take a few hours or days for the weaker ones and minutes for the strongest. Eva knew that Kai's healing abilities are probably way above that level and so seeing that he wasn't healing terrified and confused her.

"Normally, Origin users can't control how their body heals. As long as they get injured and they have enough Origin, their body will take from that Origin and heal without their control. It's a natural body phenomenon. However, when you master Origin, you can stop your body from doing such things naturally."

Then, Kai's injury suddenly started healing at an alarming speed before it stopped again mid-way.

"I can control what my body does. How my skin heals, how blood vessels work, how my muscles reattach, and even how my bones can fortify or weaken. I can put all of my strength into one finger if I want to."

"..." The two girls sat there silently, digesting the information Kai said.

What he revealed just now was mind-blowing information. No, it was something that far exceeded what the best scientists discovered about Origin till that point. The mere idea of being able to control every part of your body was something revolutionary.

The things that a human body can do was already impressive as is let alone if the person could control it to that extent. Especially the part about putting one's strength into one limb or one organ.

'This is no joke. Fighting against a stronger foe, if I can put all my strength into one single punch, that would be destructive.' Kaya contemplated quietly.

'Not only that. I can put it into my heart, my mind, or even my stomach. I can increase the functionality of every organ if I want to.' Eva thought too as endless ideas started popping into her head. To think that there was way more to Origin than to be used as a talent activator or a body enhancer.

As for Kai, he simply watched them take in all the information. He knew that what he told them was like an eye-opener. What he hid, however, was the fact that he was the one to discover this and the process of doing it was probably the worst experience of his life.

However, he didn't care about that, as long as they took the information he had sacrificed a part of his soul for, he was fine with it.

'I doubt I can make them learn the easy way. For them to truly master Origin, they will have to push their bodies beyond the limit. I still don't know if they can truly handle it.' Kai thought to himself.

He was, more or less, taking a gamble here. He really didn't know if this could 100% succeed. But, there is really nothing he can do here. Eva and Kaya seemed hell on bent on getting stronger and Kai did want them to get stronger too so that he doesn't have to bind them to this side the whole time. He was just rather worried since he was the only one to ever go through that hellish training and come out alive. Every other person he had seen try it, ended up either crippled or dead.

Granted, Kai won't let that happen since he will oversee the two of them but it was still not a good idea safety-wise.

Suddenly, an image of a little girl flashed in his head for a split second before vanishing. For a second, he had forgotten that she was the only exception to his rule.

'I guess there was her too.' His face frowned as his cold aura flared slightly, waking Eva and Kaya from their trance. Looking at him, they could see a flash of anger flash in his eyes that vanished quickly.

"Kai? Are you ok, darling?" Kaya asked gently with a concerned expression.

"Hmm? It's nothing. Anyway, as I was saying, this will take a lot of time and extreme measures. So, if at some point, you think you can't handle it anymore, tell me. I will stop the training." He said with a serious expression. "Do you understand?"

The two girls nodded their heads at the same time.

"Good. Let's go."

"Where?"

Turning around, Kai said.

"To the first training spot."
