Then one day, they discovered their superpowers weren't just failing to advance—they were regressing. A stream of green energy inside them seemed to connect to the vortex in their sea of consciousness, slowly siphoning away their superpower energy.
The stolen energy transformed into Spiritual Energy and flowed out of their seas of consciousness, heading toward the Spirit River that ran outside every base.
The Spirit River was stealing their superpower energy!
This was only truly confirmed after their first month in the base. A superpower user who had just advanced to Nebula Level 3 woke up the next day to find he had dropped in rank—losing his Nebula Level status entirely.
He was now just a High-level Superpower User, no longer strong enough to return to the Ancient Universe. And his power was still dropping. If no solution was found, he could become an ordinary person within another month, his superpowers completely drained.
