"Of course it's complete. How could I possibly work on something for this long and dedicate so much effort without achieving any tangible results?" Arkalon lifted his head with unmistakable pride, his posture radiating confidence and satisfaction. "But it's still not the ultimate version… According to my careful estimates, the speed at which soul units are absorbed using this technique reaches only about a quarter of the natural energy absorption rate."
"A quarter?!" Robin's golden eyes widened dramatically, pupils sharp and scanning every inch of the glowing sphere with intense scrutiny. "That's still a monumental achievement… The current baseline absorption is no more than 1%, meaning you've managed to amplify the natural rate by twenty-five times in a single leap! That's astronomical!"
