Garion slowly stretched his body.
Crack… crack…
The sharp sounds echoed through the empty white space, and he immediately paused. Something felt different.
"Hm?"
Atlas glanced over from his shoulder.
[What is it?]
Garion frowned slightly while staring at his hand, flexing his fingers a few times.
"My body… it feels different than before. Not worse… better."
The moment he moved, the surrounding energy naturally drifted toward him like it was being pulled in by instinct alone.
Atlas instantly looked proud.
[Of course it does.]
Garion looked at him curiously.
[During these five years, I didn't just let you sleep.]
Atlas floated off his shoulder and crossed his tiny arms.
[I also used the gathered energy to stabilize and awaken your God Physique.]
Garion blinked. "Awaken? Didn't I already awaken my God Physique five years ago?"
Atlas nodded calmly.
[You did. But back then, it was basically a newborn. Even if you could already use it, it was still unstable.]
