It was fascinating to Zarek, and of course it was a gamble. He didn't have enough of the Elixir to do it more than three times, and he obviously didn't want to test it out ahead of time in case Crux sensed something was off or the results were more shocking than expected.
Crux's physical stats were still far beyond Zarek's, and he also wasn't nearly as injured. Zarek couldn't afford to make any mistakes, so he had taken action before he even knew if things would work out in his favor.
Luckily… they had.
Well, it was an educated guess, all things considered.
It had to be remembered that part of becoming an extremely powerful S-Class warrior in the future would require forging your own Godsfall Pathways in your body. The importance of these Godsfall Pathways couldn't be understated.
