Nothing was stopping Nick anymore from becoming an Eternal.
Now, he just needed to work on his advancement.
Nick had nine Shields he was working with, and the Champion would continue buying time for humanity.
The Champion now knew what he had to do.
He needed to buy Nick time.
In the past, he had tried to sabotage Nick by making the researchers work on things that they shouldn't work on.
Of course, Nick still managed to eradicate that research, but that was not the important part.
The important part was that he had tried to stop Nick.
He was no longer doing that.
Instead, he would even help Nick do his job.
Working with the Shields was Nick's primary objective.
He had to advance.
A century passed.
Another century passed.
Finally, Nick became a Peak Adversary.
However, that was not the only thing that made Nick stronger.
Working with the Shields didn't require Nick to use his mind since everything happened automatically.
