I woke up in the same hospital as last time. There was no physical pain whatsoever, proving I had mastered controlling my physical body. Since I had, I finally changed my eye color to gold. Not a life gold, but a gold like money. However, my statistical physical state was a whole different matter. I was completely a wreck if you went by stats. I was on 1/10 health.
So, I would change my core's affinities. I knew that I needed non-base aspects, so I would forcibly change my cores to aspects. I would keep health as a base aspect, mana as light aspect, and stamina as hammer aspect. I would aspect my stamina cores first, allowing for my more powerful physical skills to gain power.
I went into essence world. The overly saturated plane felt more familiar than ever. I went straight to my stamina core. I changed all my stamina to warhammer aspect. I forced all that stamina into the center of the core, compressing it to the level of a god. It was at the center now. I only had one shot, or the core would blow up. I only had until 1 stamina generated. I forced the stamina into a small cave.
1 warhammer aspect stamina generated.
I left essence world, insanely tired. I drifted off to sleep.

----------------------------------------
Level 201.
Nothing had happened so good in end-years.
The chains were much stronger, finally solidified, though with much more strain. However, it was futile; like a random level 0 trying to break steel by pulling it gently.
Essence rushed in like a freight train.
I flew to the child. His state was better, and I sensed he had warhammer aspect stamina.
I put my hand on him. I was in my true form.
"Gift of Essence."
The child leveled up 100 times, barely taking any of my essence. It automatically gave him the things a level 180 should have. And aspected his mana to light.
----------------------------------------
I woke up a proper level 180. I went to the lower realm on my own power, and conquered the entire realm, before going back. Now, it was the Sasomac Realm. I went to Almthar. "Let's go kill Ylmthar. You've got upgrades, I've got upgrades, let's go."
Almthar picked me up, and tore a hole through the realm. I could now see through void. Soon, we were at Ylmthar's realm. He was level 200. Almthar bore a hole through the realm. "Don't close it. Let those idiots suffer."
Almthar naturally closed it. We went wordlessly to Ylmthar's palace. Almthar hit it with a blast, instantly destroying it. Ylmthar stood alone. Almthar shot a beam of pure light at Ylmthar. Ylmthar's dark beam was overturned. I put all the power I possibly could into a swing, saying my hundreds of new buffs.
I had the power of a level 195 for one strike. Ylmthar was on one health, but a blue shield stopped Almthar from attacking. Almthar broke the planet, and I did the final hit on Ylmthar.
Level 200.
