He remained motionless. Watching. That had never happened like that before. Never.
He deactivated the lightning. Activated the ice. The core changed again. Instantly.
Icy Qi spread through the channels.
A thin layer of frost appeared over his skin, glowing faintly under the light, tiny crystals forming and dissipating.
Not through conscious activation. Not because his eyes were forcing it. But naturally, as an extension of his body.
Like breathing.
Kyrian watched, fascinated.
Everything worked. Everything.
Then, he realized something even more important.
Efficiency.
Before, a large portion of the Qi was wasted when sent into his body.
The eyes consumed enormous amounts of energy, every activation a drain.
The body could not keep up, and the energy dissipated.
There were constant losses in every transformation, in every use.
Now, there were not. The Mirrored Third Eye functioned as an intermediary. A stabilizer. A mirror.
