The world essence energy that was hugging his insides like jagged wire slowly relaxed. Instead of squeezing his meat and vessel tight and exerting pressure over his body, the world essence energy started flowing like a gentle stream, revitalizing and energizing his body.
The air around Zach steadily got heavier as the pressure he exuded grew with each breath he took.
