Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 4: True Origin Energy

Why did Alissa despise him so much? The answer was straightforward.

Grey had acted like a complete scoundrel. He tormented Alissa, snatched her allowance, and even pilfered from Richard to finance his own indulgent whims. His character was foul, his actions repulsive, and his inclinations... twisted, including toward his own sibling.

Should Grey imagine himself in Alissa’s position, he’d loathe that individual as well. The former Grey had been utterly loathsome.

In time, Alissa reached her breaking point. One fateful day, she severed all connections with him, disowned him as kin, and from that moment, her iciness toward him remained unyielding.

And honestly? She was fully justified. Nothing could alter her view of him anymore.

Thus, the meal concluded in hush. The trio dined wordlessly, with only the tinkling of utensils breaking the quiet.

Suddenly, Grey’s face twisted oddly.

His eyes locked onto Alissa, who appeared blissfully oblivious.

Of course, his intense gaze had a purpose.

Suddenly, his thoughts awakened, and bits of data emerged gradually, assembling like jigsaw fragments clicking into place.

[Your comprehension defies the heaven! By witnessing a True Dragon’s Breathing Technique, you’ve gained insights into ’True Origin Energy Breathing Technique’ and comprehended the ’Origin Insight Skill’.]

"???" Grey stood stunned.

’True Dragon? Where is it?’ Grey scanned about, spotting only Alissa nearby.

’Could my sister be a dragon?’ Grey felt utterly shocked. Moments ago, his mind had visualized a mighty azure frost dragon unleashing world-shattering power.

No doubt about it—the trigger for his breakthrough in the Breathing Technique came from observing his sister.

A True Dragon. Its exact nature eluded him, yet one fact stood clear: no chronicles mentioned dragons inhabiting this realm.

Indeed, locals likely had no clue what a dragon even was. Not one fable, saga, or whisper of them lingered anywhere.

Aside from that, both he and everyone on Blue Star knew Alissa practiced Esper Evolution with potent ice control and telekinetic prowess.

Yet, she proved to be a True Dragon pursuing a rare evolutionary route!

Sweat began beading on Grey’s brow gradually. If his sister truly was a dragon, might she devour him in revenge?!

A slight tremor ran through Grey at the notion.

Right then, Richard’s worried tone sounded nearby. "Grey, are you okay? Why the shaking?"

"N-Nothing, Dad..." Grey replied, downing his water glass hastily.

Grey swiftly shifted his eyes from Alissa and concentrated on his plate quietly.

What if prolonged staring prompted her to gobble him up?

Nevertheless, clues were aligning. Through the insights from the True Origin Energy Breathing Technique, he discerned her practice of an exceptionally advanced Evolutionary Path—likely unknown on Blue Star—harnessing a distinct force named True Origin Energy.

In the process of grasping her singular method, Grey inadvertently unlocked a fresh skill.

This power let him detect True Origin energy currents—and extend that to tracking various energy flows too.

Grey sensed an eerie guidance in his gift. It seemed to recognize his deficiencies and steer him precisely where required. His initial scheme involved watching cosmic energy materialize and studying other energies in action, yet now... he could observe energy cycles live, sans external display.

Ordinary folk couldn’t dream of this, but his talent made the impossible real!

Grey stole another peek at Alissa, refocused, and triggered the Origin Insight Skill.

Buzz!

As Grey activated Origin Insight, surroundings faded, light sources warping from his sight.

Alissa’s form revealed itself—not as meat and bone, but luminous flows. Veins turned to torrents, meridians to glowing trails. Surging within: True Origin energy.

The True Origin energy resembled like silver threads of light, coursing via her frame.

They twisted into small spirals, then extended, perpetually cycling like a revolving wheel.

Each spiral connected to the next, forming a pattern that pulsed in time with her breath.

It appeared vital—constant and perpetual.

[Your Comprehension defies the heaven! By witnessing a True Dragon’s energy flow and breathing rhythm you’ve gained insights into ’True Origin Breathing Technique’]

Details on the Technique flooded his thoughts relentlessly, sharpening his grasp continually.

Alissa’s respiration diverged sharply from human norms. Rhythm, structure— all alien. To casual eyes, it mimicked perfection, concealing its depth masterfully. Replication or insight demanded his extraordinary gift.

’Which I possess,’ Grey smirked inwardly.

True Origin energy surpassed Cosmic energy undoubtedly, and from the snippet acquired, it ignored compatibility, relying on the breathing method to forge matching patterns, birthing it internally.

An inward breathing art, independent of external Cosmic energy!

Thus, he could theoretically adopt this to evolve as an Evolver.

Solution to a superior energy arrived swifter than anticipated.

’Yet cultivating True Origin energy might tip off Alissa immediately?’ Grey pondered, chewing another mouthful.

Far from ordinary, her mythical True Dragon powers remained a mystery.

’Though with her home daily, I can observe covertly and master it quicker.’ Grey nodded. Then unease hit—ogling his stunning sister constantly screamed pervert, and he wasn’t one!

’Cough, purely for the breathing technique, totally innocent,’ Grey affirmed steadfastly.

Across the table, Alissa observed Grey mutely. She detected his furtive looks but ignored them. Reacting would seem odd, given her passive True Dragon mental sense extended vastly without effort.

His shifting visage surprised her: Shock first. Confusion next. Then thrill. Finally, firm resolve.

Her lips quirked briefly.

She shook her head briskly, eyes icing over.

Meanwhile, Grey spotted her head shake and frosty glare. He eyed her curiously.

Noticing his odd look, Alissa’s gaze intensified. She shot back a glare, blue frost gleaming in her irises.

"Cough! Cough!" Grey almost choked. "W-wow, the food’s really spicy today."

Richard sighed, filling a glass for him. "Eat slower, Grey."

Grey drained it instantly, beads of sweat trickling down his face.

Inwardly, he damned the old Grey—why antagonize Blue Star’s scariest being?

Was he doomed to cannon fodder Young Master destiny?

Alissa reclined smugly, a subtle victory in her demeanor. Seeing Grey fluster and perspire brought strange glee.

Grey dabbed his lips, glanced once more—and caught the smug spark in her lovely eyes.

At that, Grey’s face soured faintly. This dragon sis, just wait—I’ll prove who rules as big brother here.
