can, trapped in pain and void. feels a low pulse somewhere inside him. too faint to be relevant, too strong to ignore.
but can losses focus instantly. agony taking over once again.
the pulse grows, it starts at his brain. and slowly travels all the way to his toes.
as the pulse covers can's body, can starts to regenerate. starting from his tree of existence, then his soul, and finally his body, but that only brings way for more pain.
the void breaks him again, then he regenerates, then it breaks him once again.
again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
again again again again again again again again again again again again again.
pain never lessened. you never get used to it. you only learn to ignore it, and so did can.
can stood up, on what? even he didn't know. no longer screaming, no longer showing signs of pain, but instead silent and focused.
can looks into the memories of the spirits. and chooses an ability. Sam's ability.
can rolls up the sleeve of his suit, charges up his fist. and punches. but nothing happens...
can tries again... but nothing happens.
again and again. nothing happens.
can sat down, again, on what? even he doesn't know. can looked at his fist. and began to understand the ability, not just use it.
the ability was simple, can would send divine energy from his core to his fist, then he would circulate it in his fist till it acted as a saw.
but the issue wasn't in his use of it. but in the fact that can has never consciously used his abilities, he would think of it and it would happen. but now. he needed to understand every small detail.
starting where it all starts. the existence tree. it's where his divine energy is from. it creates energy and sends it to the soul. where the energy condense and strengthen. the soul. after purifying the energy and condensing it, sends it to the core. where the energy can be used safely.
can needed to control the entire process, supervise it all and make sure everything is perfect.
can focused inward, and willed the existence tree to make more energy, then he circulated the energy all over his soul. and made it layer up. condense. purify.
now with purified divine energy, he sent it to his core, where he then circulated it all over his body. and to his surprise, muck left all his pores. doing this unlocked the first level of his existence. though with no one to tell him, he didn't know what it's called.
ignoring all the muck and the horrible smell. and with his divine energy circuits unclogged. can tried again, condensed his divine energy to the max, sent it to his arm. and made it circulate in his fist.
can punched.
the void broke.
a gap in dimensions was created.
can stepped out of the void dimension. now back in the universe he created. he passed out. pain taking over his consciousness.
