"What exactly is this thing? It really is baffling. But judging from the current results, it does seem to possess some properties of time. So, in a sense, is this thing time itself?" Kenichi Amamiya looked at the object in his hand, his eyes thoughtful. Aside from compressing energy, he had spent all his time lately researching this strange little thing he had discovered earlier. By now, Kenichi Amamiya had gained some understanding of it. In his view, it truly resembled time, except this form of time was far more unique. In some respects, its value was quite intriguing and even variable. Kenichi Amamiya had discovered that it belonged to neither any known structure nor any known energy source. Its very existence was mysterious and singular. After extracting it, he found that it could slow the rate of decay to a certain extent. Though the effect was infinitesimal, Kenichi Amamiya was still delighted. So long as there was a discovery, it was a good thing. It also meant that he had finally made some new progress in his research on time. And that was indeed the case. After discovering this thing, the research progress that had remained stagnant for so long suddenly leaped to ninety-nine percent. With only the final one percent remaining, Kenichi Amamiya would be able to grasp the essence of time. But based on his previous experience, he felt that mastering time's essence would not be easy. At least, not for him. That final one percent would probably become a difficult problem that plagued him for a long time.
"Mr. Kenichi Amamiya, regarding the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki clone you asked me to make earlier, I've made some new discoveries. This is the Experiment Log. You can take a look." Just as Kenichi Amamiya was contemplating life, Amado Sanzu
