A deep, resonant vibration echoed through Ethan's chest.
Is this how powerful beastmen felt when they semi-transformed?
Ethan thought, a breathless laugh trapped in his throat.
No wonder the humans were so desperate, so eager to find a way to semi-transform. This wasn't just about output or combat capability. It was like an awakening—a completely different sensation compared to a human bloated with spiritual power.
Shhh-fwoosh.
The newly sprouted wings flexed sharply at his back. It was moving without requiring a conscious thought.

Ethan let out a soft, staggered sigh in the back of his mind, drunk in his fascination and bitter regret.
Why did I not think about using this sooner? All those years. All that careful, agonizing work. I could've just taken this, used absolute force and been done with it.
