After returning to his room in the underground area of the Divine Colosseum, Max finally allowed himself to rest, using the quiet and isolation to focus inward rather than on the chaos of the arena above.
Most of his time was spent idly manipulating his mana while interacting with the Divine Essence drifting through the air, experimenting with the way the two energies responded to each other and testing small ideas that came to his mind as he grew more familiar with this new environment.
