Old Gods

[Mathew Amtrum]

"You eat your Qi energy? Or is it the light?"

Or was it just light that he was eating? That was something he never thought of trying. He had thought Karen talking about eating souls was different from the Qi energy. But maybe it wasn't?

[Mr. Kaar]

"Accelerating things to the speed of light and transforming them into pure energy uses up my own reserves of energy. I eat light to regain energy. Basically if I exhaust myself completely, as long as there is light around, I can eat that to replenish my power."

Shion figured why not?

"Give it a try, use up as much of your energy as you can and chomp on some rock."

[Mathew Amtrum]

Well why not try it? He closed his eyes and focused on his Qi energy and funneled it through his arms before dropping down and slamming both arms into the ground. The stone arm sliding into the stone as the ground began to shake and break. Parts raising up, and parts dropping down. The stone cracking and breaking as it became horribly uneven and nearly impossible to transverse.

He kept the ground shaking and bucking for several moments as sweat beaded up on his head from all of the working parts that he was moving and the force that he was moving them until he was exhausted. Slowly standing up the ground would stop shaking. The stone arm pulling from the rock with a huge hunk of stone in it's palm.

He gave the man a dubious look and would try and take a bite out of the stone to eat it. This better not be a prank. If so this guy just got Mathew to eat dirt. And exhaust himself.

[Mr. Kaar]

AND NOW ATTACK!

Not. As Mathew munched he would realize he was feeling much less exhausted and probably like he could do that again.

"So?"

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Tastes like shit."

But he took another bite and would eat until the large baseball sized rock was finished. Can't argue with results.

"Wonder what metal would be like since my Qi mutated..."

[Mr. Kaar]

"Mutation?"

Shion was genuinely curious, he didn't know other people had reached the point of Qi mutations.

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Thing called Gamble fruit. It gave me the ability to deal with metal and other ores. It also granted me some immunity to Electricity. And it feels like breaking past my limits has been easier then when I was younger."

Unlike others who had less than positive effects from the fruit.

[Mr. Kaar]

"That's very interesting. I've never heard of it... Had you been eating your Represented Qi your abilities would of mutated naturally."

[Mathew Amtrum]

"I see. And once it mutates do you change your diet?"

This was actually quite fascinating.

[Mr. Kaar]

"I switch off, one feeding I eat light, the other feeding I eat rainbows."

Mathew after eating the stone would notice he was satisfied. No hunger, no thirst, he was completely replenished.

[Mathew Amtrum]

"What does eating a rainbow do for you?"

And why did he eat rainbows?

[Mr. Kaar]

"When my Qi mutated it took all of my concentration to bend the light in such a way as to make colors. Then I found out the rainbow was a constant moving form of light and was much more powerful. As I ate it more I was able to use it easier. Now I can summon both without much thought."

[Mathew Amtrum]

"Hmmm so eating metal might make it easier on me to do so?"

That was an interesting thought. It took a lot more focus to do metal. And he could only do one at a time.

"What made you think to eat light though? Like... how did that thought even enter your brain?"

[Mr. Kaar]

"First time was an accident. I was four years old. Growing up in Egypt. Alone and without any way to feed myself I relied on hand outs and table scraps. It wasn't working. I leaned my head back took a big gulp of air, just so happened the sunlight was flying right into my mouth, and felt a little bit better. As I kept doing so more and more of my abilities revealed themselves to me."

[Mathew Amtrum]

"And that's how you unlocked your Qi? I think I unlocked mine through meditation and being really pissed off."
