So clear... that he could even reverse the process.
He could temporarily 'pollute' pure Energy, turning it into a state of Chaos.
Although it could only be maintained for an instant.

The change in the Time Orbit was the most subtle.
The track, which had previously spun at an erratic speed, now began to pulse rhythmically.
Fast, slow, slow, fast... like a heart learning how to beat.
Each pulse caused a subtle change in Ian's speed of thought.
At specific moments, he could stretch 0.1 seconds into 0.3 seconds, or even 0.5 seconds...
This gave him more time to think, judge, and react.
'The three Rules have all been enhanced at the same time.'
Ian was thrilled. This would save him at least ten years of comprehension time.
As for the Sea of Spirit itself... it began to expand.
This wasn't the slow growth from absorbing crystals before; it was a frenzied explosion of growth!
