Purple Pyramid

## Benefits & Disbenefits

### Benefits

Reciting the phrase *I am powerful* can transform the body of the holder and give immense strength to him. The more times the phrase is recited, the more his strength will increase.

### Disbenefits

However, it's important to note that repeating the phrase too many times can have negative consequences. In fact, excessive repetition of the phrase can cause the person's intelligence to decline to the point where they struggle to understand even basic concepts.

The **Purple Pyramid**, or **Project ID 434** is a relic that can grant the holder immense power upon chanting *Iam am powerful*.

## Appearance

A crystal pyramid measuring 10 cm in length, 10 cm in height, and 10 cm in width.

## Benefits

Upon reciting the phrase "I am powerful," the possessor of the relic will experience a sudden physical transformation, with their body increasing in size proportionally to the number of times the phrase is repeated. In addition to the increase in size, the possessor will also experience a significant boost in strength, endurance, and other physical attributes.

The extent of the transformation and the degree of the resulting increase in physical capabilities is directly proportional to the frequency with which one utters the phrase "I am powerful." In other words, the more the phrase is repeated, the more dramatic the transformation will be.

It is worth noting that the effects of the relic are temporary and the possessor will return to normal approximately 30 minutes after being separated from the relic.

## Disbenefits

It is worth noting, however, that the artifact's effects on the possessor's ability to articulate are significant. As the phrase "I am powerful" is uttered repeatedly, the possessor's cognitive abilities are depleted, and they reach a point where they can no longer comprehend basic concepts. Additionally, the more the phrase is recited, the greater the decline in the possessor's intelligence.

## History

The relic was found by Charles in Laboratory 3. It was difficult to judge if a relic that traded intelligence for physical size was good or bad. If the user lacked even basic cognitive abilities, even having Hercules' strength would be of no use.

Furthermore, if his body grew larger, he would not be able to use other relics that he had in his possession. Comparatively, his overall combat power might even decrease.

In the end, Charles gave this relic to James, as adventures ahead would not only get increasingly dangerous, and relying on his strength alone would not be sufficient.

The combat power of all crew members on board the Narwhale needed an upgrade as well so that they wouldn't end up as liabilities in times of battle.
