Time passed.
There was not much Nick had to do anymore, which was why he spent almost all of his time working with the Right Arm and the Inferno.
Every ten years, Nick left the Containment Unit to check up on the city.
From time to time, the underground city needed new Specters, and Nick captured them.
With his powerful perception, Nick could find almost all Specters.
50 years after Nick started, he took a closer look at the Nightmen.
By now, there were around a thousand Nightmen in the underground city, and they were growing more powerful.
Since the city produced a lot of Pure Energy, the Nightmen were growing relatively quickly.
Nick had created their bodies to be able to advance to the ninth level without having to undergo some kind of transformation.
However, just because everyone could do that didn't mean that they should.
There were ways to further increase the Nightmen's power.
Not everything could be solved by genetics alone.
