I never finished.
The moment the question began forming...
My entire body froze.
The All-Knowing Eyes erupted with terrifying hunger.
Soul Force poured out of me so violently that my Generator Core instinctively accelerated to compensate, yet even that wasn't enough. I could literally feel my life being dragged toward the Talent before the question had even been completed.
Blood immediately flowed from both nostrils. A splitting headache exploded inside my skull.
Every instinct I possessed screamed the same warning.
Stop.
Without the slightest hesitation, I forcibly canceled the ability. The black markings vanished.
The rotating crosses slowed.
I remained seated on the floor, breathing heavily while blood dripped quietly onto the wooden boards beneath me.
For several long minutes, I didn't move.
I simply stared blankly ahead while my mind slowly assembled everything I had learned.
The answer wasn't complete.
Not even close.
But it was enough.
