So, basically, the CS works a lot like some sort of evil amoeba. The substance is from deep in space, we have no evidence of where it originated, but all we know is that it got transferred here by a meteorite. The substance works like an amoeba, because its cells multiply, at a rate of 0.4 meters per hour. The substance is from space, and some things we just can’t understand, like it’s soul-stealing properties. All we know is that the substance separates the soul and the body, the soul becomes a ghost, while body becomes a walking corpse with knowledge of almost everything. It must know everything because there’s no soul to possess it, no mind to restrict it. Instead of a mind, soulless creatures have a glowing orb, which spreads an otherworldly power to every part of their body, making the creature around 12 to 56 times stronger depending on the creature’s level of power. The soul removal process is also excruciatingly painful. The body’s scars, wounds, and stuff like that get amplified to the max- holes start to farm, blood starts shooting out, etc. In Phantom’s case, the small pockets underneath his eyes that produce the radiation that both keeps his mask on and gives him an extremely stupid backstory.
