True Dream

When Jade returned back to Banu City he sat down and took some time to reminisce about the times he spent with Samira which caused a smile to bloom in his face as he thought 'It's been a while since I've made friends'.

Jade cleared up his thoughts and refocused himself on his training. Unlike Samira, although he had been training his stats hadn't increased although he had been getting better, especially with his soul realm.

He closed his eyes as he entered his soul realm. Along with being able to control the amount of time spent in his soul realm his soul realm had stopped changing forms.

Now whenever he went into his soul realm, he found himself floating in space in between two planet sized detached palms, one bigger than the other.

The two palms represented his two greatest experiences; the armed robbery and the encounter with the Infant Ocean Master, the armed robbery being the smaller palm, while the other smaller celestial bodies represented his other experiences.

Jade thought 'I can still feel energy when I'm in my soul, I wonder if it's possible to bring energy into my soul'

Jade tried to manifest his energy and found out quickly that he could as he felt energy exit his point of consciousness and enter his soul. The energy filled the space between the two palms.

The experience of trial and error made Jade remember when he created his space folding sphere, it was something that no one has ever tried and for a moment, he thought he was crazy for trying but it worked using the research he had learnt about when he was working for the US military he had been able to create what they hadn't even imagined possible.

As the memory of creating the space folding sphere flashed across Jade's mind a planet in the distance suddenly appeared in between the palms, under Jade and the energy Jade had released was being controlled by the palms, the fingers wiggled back and forth in an uncoordinated manner as the energy moved and formed a space folding sphere.

The sphere was made out of energy which looking like a blue semitransparent hologram. Jade in his curiosity absorbed the space folding sphere made of energy back into his consciousness and exited his soul really.

When he opened his eyes, a space folding sphere just like the one he had absorbed was floating right in front of him. It was a blue holographic space manipulation sphere. Jade was shocked and happy to see it as he thought 'Finally! My soul training has paid off'

Jade experimented with the sphere and found out that it was just as it looked; a hologram. It was intangible and just seemed useless until he brought out his space folding sphere from his dimensional bracelet.

The energy construct space folding sphere snapped to the real space folding sphere. The sphere was able to teleport Jade twice the distance it would take him and it required half the time although it consumed twice the amount of electricity.

The energy construct amplified the operation of the devices they were modeled after.

Jade learnt that the more complex the item he was making the more time it took for his soul to recreate it. Jade's range of totally control of the energy constructs was his energy zone.

The energy constructs didn't last long as they dissipate over time if Jade didn't supply them with energy. It took 2 hours for regular sized energy constructs, like swords, space folding spheres, etc, to dissipate.

Jade tried to overcome this limit by testing what would happen if he just left his soul realm without absorbing the energy. As expected when he went back into his soul the energy construct was still there.

He tried to make more constructs but realized that he could only either make or keep one construct at a time. He couldn't even make a copy of the same construct while the construct was still in his soul.

The greatest advantage of Jade's energy construct ability was that it could amplify the performance, durability and all round quality of his weapons by any amount as long as Jade could provide the energy to create the constructs and power the weapon.

The downside was that Jade could not create things he had not made, even if he knew how to make them, the hand in his soul would not react. And the greatest disadvantage of the ability was that it required Jade to enter his soul realm.

The time he spent there creating objects, was in the nanosecond range but Jade knew that being AFK for that amount of time was going to be fatal at higher Ranks. He could only hope that more practice would reduce the time spent.

Jade thought 'I guess it's time to go hunting, I need to break in this new ability... I wonder what I should call it'. Jade thought back to the time he saved Samira, he specifically thought about the time he vowed to take revenge.

He remembered himself saying 'I need to make your dreams come true' and he thought 'There are indeed some dreams that need to come true, whether it's someone's nightmare or someone else's fantasy. With a broken ability like this I can get closer to making my dreams or someone's nightmare come true. I'll call it True Dream'. After deciding the name he teleported away.
