The next day Mormo told them that they will stop collecting essence, they need to learn how to fight, or at least Mormo needed to understand how good each of them is at fighting.

Because Moshe never fought before, they agreed that Yaacov will have the first mock battle with Mormo, while Moshe will just look and learn.

“Don’t use the power of your essence. Only your body and the raw strength of them” Mormo told to Yaacov.

“Why?” Yaacov asked confused, “Isn’t the power of the essence is what makes the essence valuable? Without it, it’s just a raw power contest?” Yaacov asked again.

Mormo didn’t answer as he rushed in Yaacov’s direction while spreading all of his essence around his body.

Yaacov had much more essence than Mormo, by around 25 folds more essence.

Yaacov used twice the amount of essence that Mormo had in his whole body to create a wall of essence between Mormo and himself.

He thought that Mormo will try to just pass the wall so he started to put traps with his essence in different locations around himself which will trap Mormo in place or explode with the tiniest touch.

Moshe got very excited as he looked at the battle without blinking while monitoring both Mormo and Yaacov’s essence movement with his own essence.

Moshe didn’t expect anything, he had zero battle experience so he assumed nothing, all he could feel is that by sheer essence amount Yaacov was much stronger than Mormo.

Mormo put only 5 percent of his essence in his hand as he punched the wall of essence that was before him.

When his hand touched the wall of the essence, the essence in his hands just shoot out of him into the wall while disturbing the essence’s order, each particle from Mormo’s essence touched some of the particles of Yaacov’s essence.

To Yaacov’s total confusion, his wall of essence broke with almost no effort from Mormo’s side.

Yaacov needed some time to collect himself so he jumped backward but Mormo made a collision between two particles from his essence behind him which made him fly very fast in Yaacov’s direction.

Yaacov collected all of his essence into his leg while throwing a kick at Mormo.

The essence in his leg was a terrifying strength for Mormo, Yaacov couldn’t see any way that Mormo could manage to win in raw strength against his kick.

Mormo looked at him as he made another collision of essence to his right, simply like that Mormo changed his moving direction while both of them were in the air.

Mormo made a series of collisions until he was located behind Yaacov.

Yaacov never saw someone doing anything like that, most of the fighting was always around the essence powers, and never about the aspect of controlling your own essence.

He was confused and in deep shock. He felt a little ashamed of himself.

But to Moshe everything was new, so for him, it was only natural, he was like a white canvas outside of many assumptions and regulations.

Yaacov shot all of his essence out of his body in the direction of Mormo in a deadly attack.

But Mormo easily dispatched the attack of the essence with a small gesture of his hands.

The essence outside of one’s body was less controllable than the one that was inside or close to one’s body.

If Yaacov was still in the 9-god-level, Mormo was definitely already dead. But when they are on the same level or even 3 levels above him, it’s all about control.

Mormo learned from fighting with his mother how to easily influence other essences’ structures to nullify any attack.

Mormo kept flying into the back of Yaacov as Yaacov’s essence still flew around him and didn’t have the time to return to Yaacov’s body and prepare the next attack or defense, Yaacov was like a normal person right now, absolutely defenseless.

Mormo put his hands on Yaacov’s head.

“You lost …” Mormo declared as Yaacov looked at him with a dumb expression.

Yaacov wanted to argue that his loss was due to Mormo cheating, Mormo had absolute control over his essence, he could nullify any of his attacks with his thought.

But Yaacov knew better, he knew that Mormo used his own power to win, in a simple way and it hurt his pride to admit that he never thought about the possibility of training his control over his essence.

Determinations filled Yaacov’s mind, “What shame do I have … I’m nothing but a scam …” he thought as he knelt on his knees as he shouted “Please teach me, master!” to Mormo.

He understood that he knew nothing, and he already decided to follow this monster and abandon humanity.

“How come no one is fighting like that?” Yaacov thought to himself.

“Maybe that’s because we were too obsessed about god-levels and essence” Yaacov kept this line of thought for a little bit before he kept fighting against Mormo for another round.

Again and again, he lost miserably, he couldn’t manage to even touch Mormo, every time he came close to it, Mormo just nullify his attack effortlessly with his own essence.

They called it a day, as Mormo kept finding more essence to extract some life force for himself, to extend his longevity, while Moshe and Yaacov discussed today’s events.

The next morning, Mormo started to train them, the same way he trained himself.

Moshe tried to lock Yaacov in place with the essence that was equivalent to the 2-god-level, while Yaacov could use only the first-god-level amount of essence to make himself to move.

Every few tens of minutes they change roles, meanwhile, Mormo kept collecting essence for himself from the rat-like creatures that lived in the cave.

Unlike both Moshe and Yaacov, his process was very slow and tedious! He was very happy to see them struggle with controlling their own essence, he didn’t tell them how he controls his own essence because he wanted to see them struggle, he was afraid to see them succeed too fast.

Every time they asked him for points, he just told them that this was something they should learn or find for themselves. He knew that it is better to share information, but he was just too frustrated by their fast pacing in collecting essence and moving in the god-levels ladders.

After a few weeks of training with no progress from both of them, Mormo told them how to do it, and the idea behind other’s essence manipulations.

He found himself teaching them a little bit about linear algebra and approximation theories, but even after that both of them didn’t manage to even make a simple step while the other tried to lock his friend in place.

Mormo for the first time checked their essence and what is happening and he understood that because both of them learning how to control their essence together, both of them made steps together, so even when they learning how to control their essence no one managed to win over the other.

It was a very amusing thing to see for Mormo, he was quite happy with both of them.

But he didn’t want to say anything and just experiment with both of them a little bit more.

Eventually, Moshe managed to make his first step, he won the battle against the experienced Yaacov in controlling his own essence, which made Yaacov very frustrated.

Moshe didn’t feel himself to be superior as he talked with Yaacov and explained everything he had done or thought of to Yaacov, Mormo liked the development very much as he went to sit with them, which was a very unusual thing for him to do as all three of them discussed the best way to control their own essence and manipulate the other.

In the end both Yaacov and Moshe asked Mormo to try to lock him in place and see how he will win against them.

He agreed as both of them started to try to lock Mormo in place, Mormo could easily move under their influence but he could feel that clearly, Moshe gave him a harder time, his mind was much more unorthodox which made Mormo very happy and excited to “play” with him.

Only after one month both of them started to come closer to Mormo’s expertise in essence manipulation.

Mormo could move while both of them were in their 2-god-level, but when Yaacov use his full power Mormo couldn’t move, no amount of tricks helped him.

Moshe was even more exceptional as he needed only the start of the 3-god-level essence capacity to lock Mormo in place completely while he used the 1-god-level.

Even his own mother while having the white recognition needed the 4-god-level to lock him in place while he was in the first-god-level.

It quite amazed Mormo, unlike his previous attitude, he got truly excited to keep learning and experimenting with his own control over the essence!
