'My talent is unlimited… I'm still human, and I already have vita circulating through my body, and I can absorb even more… My physical stats are just below the Genesis stage. And my nodes…'
His eyes drifted downward, stopping at the twelve glowing symbols displayed on the interface, the twelve nodes.

Valentine, who had been observing from the side, stiffened as a shiver ran down his spine.
'Why is he laughing…?'
He didn't dare ask. And even if he had, Malakai wouldn't have answered.
Because the reason for his laughter… was another revelation he just discovered.
