It had been about a week since Candice first encounter with the robot, since then her travel speed had increased but so did her encounters with other hostile and bizarre creatures wandering this desolate wasteland, with each battle she created simulated world to draw more nutrients, gaining more knowledge and experience thereby honing her will.
A strong will led to a strong soul and stronger powers, her skills became easier to use and adjust as she pleased, even her physical form grew stronger as her experiences began to drive the evolution of her body, the erosive nature of the vast energy in the environment did nothing to hinder this process as her strong will forcefully filtered the energy absorbed as her physical form began to be more in tune with not only her skills but also her powers.
