Nick's other ability from the Nightmare evolved as expected.
He was literally just the Nightmare now.
In the past, he had to borrow the Nightmare's influence and use it.
Now, he had his own Nightmare's influence.
Practically speaking, there was no real difference from before.
However, that was only true while he was on Earth.
After all, the Nightmare's influence was only on Earth.
Since Nick now had his own influence, he could use it in places where the Nightmare wasn't present.
For example, the alien's base.
'This might be useful, but I'm unsure how it will work in an area covered in Star Energy.'
Then, Nick focused on the two abilities from the Maw.
The first one just increased his perception even more, and he could also see what kind of abilities someone had.
This wasn't like the self-created ability Nurse Alice had made.
He didn't need to read the Zephyx.
No, he just knew what kind of abilities a Specter or Extractor had.
Nick could already see all of Earth with his perception, but he knew that his perception could reach even further.
The only thing containing it to Earth was the Sun.
As for the portal ability, it had also changed.
The portals became much more energy efficient, and Nick could also create portals for attacks.
Nick could create a portal in front of him and throw the light needle inside.
The next moment, the portal would open directly in front of the enemy.
Essentially, Nick could launch an attack from anywhere.
'But once again, I don't know how that will work in space with all of that Star Energy.'
Then, Nick looked at his disguise ability.
It hadn't changed a lot.
He could just turn into anything.
Didn't matter what.
A human.
A machine.
A stone.
An alien.
A forcefield.
Anything.
Sadly, the same issue with his Zephyx persisted.
He had to store his Zephyx somewhere, which meant he had to be careful with Star Energy and Pure Energy.
However, the new ability his disguise ability brought him was different.
Nick looked at his hand.
All the biological knowledge of humanity ran through his mind.
A cell appeared in front of him.
He used Zephyx, and the cell multiplied.
It turned into a cluster of cells, which continued multiplying until…
There was an embryo hovering in his hand.
'As long as I know how a biological process works, I can use my Zephyx to make it happen.'
If Nick wanted, he could create artificial humans with his ability.
He just had to know how it worked.
Nick dispersed the embryo and focused on his intelligence ability.
No surprise there.
It was just even more intelligence.
The new ability his intelligence brought, on the other hand, was interesting.
Extreme telekinesis.
If he wanted to, Nick could tear Aegis' headquarters out of the ground and crush it with his mind.
'Sadly, not very useful since my light ability has more destructive potential.'
'The only positive thing is that it barely costs any Zephyx to use my telekinesis.'
Nick's memory deletion ability improved in the sense that it could be used on stronger targets.
It all depended on the enemy's power in relation to Nick's.
With Nick's primary ability active, he could delete the memories of any Late Savior or weaker.
The new ability his memory deletion ability had granted was similar.
It allowed him to add memories extremely easily.
He could create fake memories without deleting old ones in someone.
Finally, Nick looked at the new ability he had chosen.
It was simple.
He could analyze biological matter.
His Zephyx would break the matter down and expose all of its secrets to Nick.
Nick said that he wanted to use this ability to learn more about humanity, but that was only half-true.
In truth, Nick chose this ability for one reason.
Learning how the biological machines and the aliens worked.
He had to know how they worked so that he could infiltrate them.
He also already had his first target.
One of the aliens transporting Zephyx from Earth to the alien base.
He would kill and consume one of them before replacing them.
As for the second new ability…
Nick could read a biological lifeform's memories.
But wait, Nick could already do that.
Well, this was different.
This worked on any biological lifeform.
This meant it also worked with lifeforms using Pure Energy.
AKA, the aliens.
'I can also read the memories of the aliens with my other ability, but I need to consume them for that to happen.'
'With this, I don't need to consume them.'
'I just need to sense them.'
'Sadly, I am unsure how this will work on the aliens.'
'Their level of existence is higher than ours, and I am not sure how far my ability will go.'
'I don't think I can read the mind of a Ninth Level existence or higher.'
'The aliens probably went through hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of years, of refinement.'
'They have pushed their Pure Energy Manipulation to the peak, and their bodies should be much more powerful than ours.'
'This is as far as I can go with my power, mostly.'
'I have all of the tools to succeed.'
'Now, I just need to put the plan into action.'
Nick remembered the time he had come up with the plan.
It had seemed almost impossible back then.
He had needed to do so much.
Become powerful.
Attain an insane level of technology.
Make humans able to survive without Prephyx.
Gain a way to infiltrate the base.
Get the abilities to integrate into alien society.
Manipulate Pure Energy.
This plan had been in motion for around 1,800 years.
He had worked on it for 1,800 years.
And now, it was finally time.
Nick had the Null's abilities.
He had the Maw's abilities.
He had the Nightmare's abilities.
He had Nurse Alice's abilities.
He had harvested all the power he could possibly harvest.
He was the culmination of all of Earth.
He was all the Specters the aliens had sent to torment Earth.
And despite being only an Initial Eternal…
He was a far bigger threat on his own than the Enlightened Ones.
'Now, I just have to wait.'
