High Ascension II
The manifestation of a droplet of energy infused with a trace of the Origin Sap's essence was something nobody expected. Even the World Serpent and the Wolf Curse couldn't predict this.
They were certain that Michael would absorb a significant amount of the Origin Sap, primarily because of their presence. Michael shouldn't be able to absorb more than a quarter of diffused Origin Sap without their presence. Even then, it was unlikely.
The Wolf Curse and the World Serpent figured that something would change, and they would have to change their plans again, but it was hard to fathom how much would change. It was unknown whether they were graced with fortune or if misfortune haunted them.
In the meantime, Michael felt the traces of Origin Sap's essence coursing through him. The power coursing through him was incredibly pure. It was close to perfection. He felt…perfect.
