The lava wasn't just liquid fire. It was dense, filled with violent energy particles, constantly colliding and releasing heat.
I clenched my jaw and focused.
My mind zoomed in on my core.
I activated [Psynapse Boost], and my will stretched out, connecting with the energy around me.
I could feel it now. The heat wasn't in the molten rock itself...it was in the vibrating particles of the lava. Tiny, microscopic movements that released energy every time they collided.
I locked onto those particles, guiding them with my will.
Slowly... I pulled them inside my body.
The particles resisted at first, wild and chaotic, but my increased Psynapse helped a lot.
As soon as the particles entered my body I activated [Essence Manipulation] and wrapped my Essence around them, forcing them into submission, and dragged them through my body toward my heart.
The moment the energy entered my core I felt it.
The generator core worked to turn the energy into Essence.
