Back in the laboratory, Nioh was seated on the floor, combing through the content he acquired from the knowledge hall. He had a theory.
If Zones were the culmination of intent, then his Rhythm Walker was a zone inducer.
What he needed was to create an amplifier powerful enough to increase the output force of his Rhythm Walker.
The first hurdle had already appeared. Most amplifiers only amplified biocore energy. Intent was something completely different.
The question remained.
"How can I create a real Zone without reaching the seven biocore level?"
"You are looking at it wrong."
A voice resonated in his mind. Ekoh.
"What do you mean?" Nioh asked back.
"Your line of reasoning is good but your approach is wrong. Why is the seventh rank needed to create a Zone?"
The question ignited something.
Nioh's brain started firing.
"The only answer I can come up with is… energy output."
