Kahn officially acknowledged Romulus as his master after hearing his plans.
There was no sha in accepting the truth about soone ntoring you becoming your master in all senses.
Because the one who does not respect their teacher can never truly learn from them in the first place.
Now, it was ti for Kahn to start his training for real.
First, he tried to understand the basics of Harnessing explained by the peak 7th stage saint.
Like the word implies, one must 'harness' the world energy. But it wasn't just as sa as absorbing it. Rather, refining it using your own body as a dium and then elevating it to the next level.
And then use it to incorporate into their attacks.
What Kahn got wrong the first ti during his attempt was he only ford a layer and let it touch his body without having ford the ability to refine that world energy acquired from the outside source. Which resulted in two different and incompatible forces of nature, the world energy stored in his body and the one from the environnt that he was forcefully controlling, colliding against each other and causing that explosion; resulting in his forearm exploding.
His body needed to go through this procedure and only then he'd be able to use the sa amount of world energy like Romulus and stack over a hundred layers of it as the wolfkin did.
"First we need to change how your body processes world energy." said the heavenly king as he folded his arms with a somber expression.
"How?" asked Atreus aka Kahn.
"By draining it down till there's nothing left.
And then I will use a form of technique to restructure how your body circulates it and also make it flow more rapidly inside your body such as through veins and the nervous system.
But do know that it will be extrely painful.
And you will feel like you're being pierced by millions of sharp needles in every inch of your body." he revealed the painful experience that was to co beforehand.
"The only thing that can beco a hurdle is your inability to withstand both ntal and physical pain.
Well… You can withstand it given your regeneration abilities and bloodlines.
The problem is your mind will give out soon." he spoke with a face full of concern.
"So now… Fight against first and show your strongest skills." ordered the new master.

5 Hours Later.
BOOM!!
Inside the pocket dinsion they were training, Kahn was going all out.
He used the new Asura Mode which now contained Cthulhu's regeneration abilities and resilience against many elents.
Then, he also simultaneously used the Shura Mode, forming a half-a-kiloter tall phantom this ti.
This was his most world energy-consuming skill if Kahn didn't use Rathnaar's core to use as an auxiliary source of world energy.
However, both Kahn and Romulus didn't acknowledge it as his own because the system created both of these modes of battle forms and not Kahn himself.
And exactly when he was on the last straw, Kahn used Berserk God Mode after 2 years again.
During those 20 minutes, he was comparable to an interdiate 5th stage saint.
However, no matter which skill or attack he used, Romulus' defenses were unhard.
Even the Dinsional Cut skill couldn't cut through a red barrier he summoned as the wolfkin only received the attacks and did not fight back at all.
Kahn didn't know what kind of skill or techniques the peak 7th stage was using… But even his strongest and sure-shot killer move no longer worked.
And if it didn't work against the wolfkin, ans many other powerful saints with unique abilities and skills could also remain unscathed against Dinsional Cut.
In a way, Romulus was many tis better and more powerful than any of the Mythical Rank monsters Kahn had faced till this point in Vantrea.
But thanks to this experience, he beca aware of how powerful this world was, filled with people that could even find ways to nullify the divine abilities of a chosen Hero.
[No wonder Rathnaar was able to kill so many heroes despite having no divine abilities.
They can be countered if you have the correct thods and skills prepared.] thought Kahn as he finally expended all of the world energy in his body as the activation ti ended.
His body was now full of sweat and he dropped on the ground, panting heavily.
"I can't move. Hell… I can't even breathe properly." he said with an exhausted countenance.
"Good.
Now let open your world energy pathways and force out any remaining reserves." said Romulus.
He put a palm over Kahn's head and the very next mont…
Splat!
Thousands of small pores opened on his entire body and Kahn's blood was expelled out.
"You have too many bloodlines. So of them even counter each other.
You're lucky that you have a Mythical Rank tamorphosis Bloodline as well.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have balanced out the rest of the powerful bloodline at this stage.
Your blood itself could've been turned into poison and deford your body and mind, eating it from the inside." he warned Kahn openly.
[It's just like Argos says… His Divine Abilities will kill him soon.
I can only cleanse so of the toxicity for now. I will have to leave the rest to him since my knowledge of bloodlines is just superficial and he's a true expert in them.
This brat… His luck was too good to not have died till this point.
The question is why did the God of Darkness allow him to choose these divine abilities despite knowing the consequences?
Well, that's not my problem.
I can help him to live for a couple more years by doing this. Argos can take care of the rest.] thought the wolfkin.
Kahn's blood churned and as Romulus said, he felt like being pricked by millions of needles in every inch of his body.
Tears dropped from his eyes as Kahn felt like his skull, skin, spine, bones, arteries, veins and entire nervous system was getting demolished, ground, shattered, and torn from the inside.
Every passing second felt like an eternity and in those monts, he felt like dying dozens of tis.
This was a pain that would make soone faint on the spot but Kahn's quivering yet unwavering figure revealed his unyielding and indomitable will.
Hours passed and now the floor was covered in liters of black blood.
Finally, all the smudge and blood turned into ash under the fire released by Romulus.
[This kid is good. That type of ntal fortitude and perseverance… Even among saints, there are less than 15 people in the world who can withstand such pain without going mad.
I can't say about strength but as far as ntal capacity is concerned…] thought the Apostle of Slaughter and gave his verdict.
[Kahn is definitely the strongest one among all the new Heroes.]
