i think you are just complicating the whole thing what 10years just to create a shell so Ariel light is over 150years as a hero ? please focus on keeping the story straight and simple it's already over fictional with all these zyphios and all the rest made up names and terms you are coming up with
so im thinking he'll feed the hero to the specter and get a massive boost from it being so much higher level than him and possibly feed the other heroes to it as well, leading him to walk out of this as a specialist? with julian being at the 'specialist' level currently and already close to advancing, nick is running out of time fast. being an expert wont be enough, he has to at least be in the same realm. i understand that nick has always taken on those stronger than him, but not by that much and definitely not against those who know every single one of his abilities so well.
