But what truly stunned Malakai wasn't just that he could absorb vita.
It was the rate.
'1 vita per second… that's 3,600 per hour.'
He wasn't exactly sure how his stat stacked up to those in the Genesis stage, but he knew this much: his capacity was just below theirs, considering the current strength of his body, and he hadn't even awakened yet.
It would take him roughly 25 minutes to replenish all his vita. And he'd done the research himself. For most in the Genesis stage, it took over an hour.
'Double the speed.'
His lips shook, almost forming a smile.
Valentine cleared his throat as he continued.
"Also… this absorption rate only applies to replenishing your body's vita. It's a lot slower when it comes to refining and advancing your power."
His words pulled Malakai from his thoughts, and he nodded slowly.
'Makes sense.'
If refining was as fast as replenishing, he would reach the Zenith stage in no time. Regardless, that time would come.
Soon.
