21 Chapter 21

Spending six years in the outside world would not only rebuild Igor's potential, but it would also allow the blonde to finally grow older and enter his body's period of intense physical growth. Although his nonexistent identity card would label the blonde as a ten-year old, his body might just have a drastically different opinion.

Time Chamber: 2 Years Later (6 Years After Entering)

Time went by and as usual, Igor continued to grow stronger. But as he got stronger, his mentality underwent changes too. As the blonde continued to learn techniques, his horizons continued to broaden.

There was a saying that one would not appreciate the immensity of a mountain before climbing a hill. It was this understanding that caused Igor to truly start to respect and truly wonder just how powerful Nakamura was.

In the past five years, Igor still hadn't finished Nakamura's book called "Basic Ki Techniques For Survival". He was still on the last volume dedicated to Spirit Control. It was not that the blonde failed to understand the content, but rather that he refused to move on without perfecting his control. 

With spirit control, previous attacks that would take him precious seconds to charge could now be unleashed in an instant. But he wasn't satisfied with just that. Most of his time was spent compressing the power of his pseudo-spirit bomb into his finger. To date, this nameless attack was his most powerful one. It was a culmination of releasing all his ki into a dense spherical shape and flinging it. It was a pretty basic technique he created on the spot and it was only due to his high enough ki control at the time that it did not directly detonate on his face. But while it was created in a rush last time, he could now use the same amount of ki to create a much smaller orb with far more destructive capabilities in nearly three-fourths of the time.

But while that statistic seemed impressive, Igor was not satisfied. His aim during this time was to compress the orb to the extent that its diameter would barely be bigger than his torso. This is so that it would be easier to combine with the new technique he was learning.

This technique was from a subsidiary book that contained techniques that could be performed with spirit control.

It was simply called, "Spirit Control Techniques"

…

Welcome to spirit control extended. This little booklet is dedicated to teaching you techniques that can be learnt with a certain level of proficiency in spirit control. While there are variable levels, it is preferable that you focus completely on refining your spirit ki for at least a year or two in order to gain as much as you can out of the following techniques I am about to teach you. There is no particular order as to which I will teach you these techniques. But the one I will start with teaching you pertains to your survival ability.

So without wasting any more time with meaningless pleasantries, let us begin.

Chapter 1: Instant Transmission

Despite the sheer convenience of this skill, few people know it and even fewer can learn it. As the name suggests, this is a technique that allows you to gain instantaneous travel. Now before we get excited, let's first make sure you check the requirements needed to learn it. 

First and foremost, you must have spirit ki. While I'm sure there will be exceptions in this vast multiverse, I vigorously advise you to have spirit ki that has already underwent an aura change. This is because this technique consumes a great deal of ki and having spirit ki can reduce the energy cost drastically. Spirit ki is much, much denser than normal ki. This means that for the same amount of ki that spirit ki users could fit into their hand, normal ki users would have to use a washing basin. Bear in mind that this is a rough comparison.

Secondly, you must have intimate knowledge of your own body. You must accurately know your body right down to the last atom. This requirement won't be too hard, especially for fighters. And if you already have spirit ki flowing through your body, this requirement will be even easier to fulfil. If you have made it through all of my previous books, then this requirement is merely a formality. But the reason why you must have intimate knowledge over your own body, is because using the [Instant Transmission] involves separating your body into individual atoms at Point A and reassembling at Point B. I don't think I need to explain what happens when you lose an atom or atoms of yourself.

Thirdly, you must have more than a passable ability in sensing aura and your surroundings. [Instant Transmission] is well…instant. If you reassemble yourself, the last thing you need is merging with whatever or whoever you teleported to. While there is a fusion technique, I doubt this is a particular fusion you would want to undergo. To remedy this fact, you must be able to fully picture your target's lifeforce. Your skill must be right down to the aura they radiate. This is so that you will know if your target is next to a wall, an object, or another person. The way their aura radiates will tell you all you need to know. 

It is extremely important that you fulfil all of these requirements otherwise, forget about using this technique in combat or long-distance travel, unless you want an unscheduled amputation.

Now, let us begin with the lesson.

Before I begin teaching you how to perform the Instant Transmission in detail, I will first fully confer with you as to what the [Instant Transmission] is and how it works.

As stated previously, the Instant Transmission is a technique that involves you dematerialising yourself into individual atoms before travelling at light speed and rematerialising at the desired location. While proficiency with the technique will increase its speed, those are the basics. What I failed to mention is what happens between Point A and Point B. When you use Instant Transmission, you dematerialise into atoms. But you don't suddenly travel to where you want to be in atomic form. If that was the case, then the risks would far outweigh the benefits.

Dematerialising into atoms and then travelling to wherever you are is the same as cloning your body into multiple yous that are the size of ants, and then having to travel through a sea of aggressive ants. It would be a commendable achievement if even half of you would make it.

So to combat that issue, the Instant Transmission technique makes use of a place called the Teleportation Zone. This is a special place that is only accessable through atomic form. This is a place between reality and…there is no other way to describe it besides complete chaos. While the Teleportation Zone generally differs within each universe segment, both in name and appearance, the layout design is more or less defaulted to a mishmash of random colours and/or shapes.

Do not worry about what a universe segment is when you probably can't even destroy a solar system.

Moving forward, here comes the part as to why you need to have a high proficiency in aura sensing. While entering the Teleportation Zone is easy, exiting is a different matter altogether. Even if you were to try and teleport back to where you came from, there is a possibility you could end up in a different planet, galaxy, or even universe altogether. That is why you need to have more than a passable ability in detecting aura because the signature you lock onto before teleportation will help in bringing you back from the Teleportation Zone.

Now you know about Instant Transmission. Now it's time to learn how to perform it. (Read all paragraphs in advance.)

You can praise whatever god or gods you pray to that demateliarising is mostly an automatic process. You just have to flash your ki in a way that it briefly tears a hole in reality. This is a relatively crude method but it is necessary since it is your first time. By constantly flashing/flaring your ki around you like little jackhammers, you will begin to create a distortion in reality, causing you to flicker in and out of existence.

If you hadn't locked onto an energy signature yet, now is the time to do it because you are about to enter the Teleportation Zone. It is extremely important that you remain locked on to that energy signature because it will be the thread that will guide you into exiting the Teleportation Zone.

There's also…nothing else. There's nothing more I can explain about how to perform the Instant Transmission.

All it requires is spirit ki or energy that is dense enough to pierce into reality, a high enough level of aura sensing that will allow you to come back to reality and enough composure to not gawk around the Teleportation Zone like an idiot to the point that you would lose the energy signature threading you to reality.

If you have no questions, get to it!

…

When he first took the book almost two years ago, Igor was near-distraught at having to postpone learning such a useful technique. After all, there was no one else here in the time chamber so he had no ki signature to lock on to. 

He was briefly excited after coming upon the ability of [Cloning] after flipping through the book a few times but he was disappointed to discover that it required a certain level of chakra. While he knew the original humans could make use of this cloning technique without issue, Yahweh's cursed humans lacked the ability. The only possibility for him to even execute the cloning technique was to have a demon live inside him or evolve into an ancient human.

While the blonde naturally chose the latter choice, he was still stuck in the dilemma of being unable to practice the Instant Transmission, until he came up with an idea. Taking inspiration from cloning, Igor came up with the idea of creating his own independent ki ball that would radiate his own energy signature.

So as the months passed and they turned into years, Igor would create multiple ki balls that he would spread all over the time chamber. Then, he would lock onto their energy signatures being vanishing. These energy spheres also temporarily solved his problem of being unable to verify his aura-sensing capabilities. Currently, he could easily sense his ki balls even beyond a thousand kilometres. Although he could not easily trust these results, it made him somewhat confident of his aura sensing capabilities.

It was after practicing for the past years that he also began incorporating the thoughts of teleporting with a charged attack. While the idea was ingenious, teleporting with a charged attack increased the energy costs of using the Instant Transmission. While the attack itself affected the energy costs, what increased the requirements even further was the size of the attack itself, not its power. Teleporting with attacks also came with the disadvantage of messing up the blonde's aura sensing, especially since the energy signatures of his attack and his ki balls were causing him confusion. While he was able to split up his concentration, his current issue remained both cutting energy costs by compressing his attacks and decreasing the amount of time he needed to charge said attacks.

These few things made him go back to the basics but all in all, the blonde was confident that before he exited the time chamber, he would have a few more tricks needed to survive.

Important Notice (No Spoilers)

Now, I've come across a few complaints that things are moving slow. While it is possible to say, "Fuck it" and time skip to canon, you're going be hit with a whole bunch of abilities and techniques that you won't know where they came from and how they work. And you're also going to be hit with a bunch of plot points or changes that you won't even understand how they happened.

Let's make an example. Now, I'm not saying it will or will not happen, but if Igor were to suddenly be a god stronger than Beerus and is a God of Destruction during canon when just less than two decades prior, he'd blow his back out trying to lift a hundred kilograms, you'd want to know why and how. 

My point is, flashbacks are not enough to cover certain things.

Extra Note

I did say I wouldn't be uploading tomorrow, right? Tomorrow is Friday. While you people will be out partying, I'll be knee-deep in cow shit.
