Chapter 411: Limiter
[Authority Fragment · Fatalism]
[Quality: Special (Unique, untradable, undiscardable)]
[Description: Fragment of the Supreme Crown, condensing the authority of Fatalism]
[Effect 1: After holding, you will be immune to fate-side ability effects below Authority level, and causality-type ability effects will be significantly weakened]
[Effect 2: Can spend 10,000 Dimensional Points to designate the next attack to hit surely or the next ability to trigger surely. This effect can only be used once per mission world]
[Effect 3: This item will automatically return to the Space during the next Crown Competition]
"Fatalism, heh..."
Kaito Shirogane shook the fragment in his hand. Being found by him coincidentally in such a huge desert, this so-called [Fatalism] indeed had some special connection with him.
The effect of this fragment couldn't be called powerful, but it was very unique.
Besides that active ability of sure hit costing Dimensional Points, holding it could also generate strong restraint against certain special Reincarnators.
Immune to fate-side abilities, significantly weaken causality-type abilities...
"What's wrong? Is there any situation there?"
Metal Knight asked. Kaito just looked at this special item unrecognizable in the eyes of plot characters in his hand and shook his head.
"Nothing, let's continue."
Kaito put away this fragment. He guessed [Fate Eternal] probably didn't end up well either. The Supreme Crown was shattered. Even if not dead, his strength should have been greatly affected.
The opponent was a madman like him. Both targeted Saitama. Failing naturally came with a price.
Kaito almost suffered death of both body and soul. That Supreme Powerhouse seemed not much better off.
Kaito then focused on a description in his panel again.
[Limiter (Open Rate 0%) — Transcending the Limit of the Vessel, Power of Infinity]
This thing had no description or ability level, displayed directly in the Talent column, below [Transcendent Helix].
Also, it didn't specify the way to open the limiter or the effect of opening.
Regarding the description [Vessel] (Qi), Kaito actually had his own understanding.
Everything in the world, where it existed, had a "setting," which was also a "boundary." Because there was a boundary, one could be born within the boundary.
Just like for a [Human] to be a [Human], it must be fixed within a certain boundary. First, you must be a flesh-and-blood creature, a primate, a living thing.
Restrictions one by one, boundaries one by one, gradually clarified the existence of [Human] from chaos, and [Human] was thus born.
And down to smaller individuals, it was the same. The reason [You] are [You] had more nuanced boundaries.
[You] existed within those boundaries.
Your [Vessel] had existed since your birth. You grew constantly within the boundary of that [Vessel].
For example, from the perspective of the Infinite Dimensional Space, ordinary human individuals were creatures whose Strength, Agility, Constitution, and other attributes varied from 1 to 20.
This 20 was the outer wall of the ordinary human individual's [Vessel], the limit.
If a Reincarnator wanted to break through that limit, break that outer wall, they had to cross the Extreme Value and become an extraordinary creature.
Becoming an extraordinary creature, you were no longer an ordinary human. The [Vessel] restricting you was expanded many times. You obtained a different upper limit and could continue to grow.
To explain with a simpler theory, an ordinary person's [Vessel] was roughly the size of a milk carton. No matter how hard they tried, they could only hold that much milk eventually.
And for extraordinary individuals like Kaito, he was stronger than ordinary people because his innate [Vessel] was like a water tank. He could hold more things innately.
His [Vessel] was more powerful. That was the essential difference between him and ordinary people.
In the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, there were always some extremely special individuals who possessed [Vessels] far exceeding individuals of the same world or even all other worlds.
Tornado, Mob, and others in this world were like this. They were born with the qualifications of the strong. Their [Vessels] and ordinary people's [Vessels] were completely incomparable.
But Saitama was different. He opened his [Vessel], completely eliminating that restriction and barrier, completely freed from shackles.
Therefore, he became a monster that couldn't be measured by the theory of [Vessel] at all.
And at this moment, Kaito finally touched that kind of thing.
He obtained the qualification to touch the [Vessel] and open the [Vessel].
Amidst thoughts, the black robot brought Kaito deep into the desert. A hidden base appeared from the yellow sand.
Metal Knight's main body was naturally not here. He didn't trust Kaito and couldn't meet Kaito in person. But there were many instruments here. Just as Kaito walked in here...
A slender humanoid robot walked over. This was also controlled by Metal Knight.
Kaito cooperated with the opponent to start observing body data. At the same time, he noticed many monitors on the wall, monitoring various parts of the world simultaneously.
At this time, disturbances occurred constantly in those monitors. Kaito saw traces of quite a few suspected Reincarnators, but all exploded into blood rain following a figure flying by.
His and Fate Eternal's behavior angered Saitama, or rather, angered the "Will" of this world, thus causing the World Will to influence Saitama.
Just like in the Naruto World, the behavior of Providence caused the Sage of Six Paths to appear.
The only difference was that the power of the proxy in this world was too strong, crushing Reincarnators like rotten wood.
Kaito also saw the notification from the Infinite Dimensional Space "urging" him to evacuate, but he knew very well that evacuating at this time would likely affect the rewards obtained previously.
And unlike others, he was someone who had already been blasted to death by Saitama once. Relatively speaking, he was currently safe.
Moreover, because of Saitama's change, this world was no longer very suitable for Reincarnators to survive. After leaving this time, the Space probably wouldn't send Reincarnators to enter again for a short time.
He hoped to leave some wedges in this world, preserving the possibility of returning to this world.
After all, he still wanted to see... the scenery of that punch again!
Thump, thump, thump...
Thinking of the scenery of Saitama's punch, Kaito's heartbeat and body indicators rose rapidly.
Metal Knight didn't stop him either. Watching the abnormal rise of various data of this man's body, he recorded everything.
"There are some problems with your body, Mr. Mercenary Tao. There are probably hundreds of tiny locations in your body where neuron flow is affected, so mobility is restricted."
"At the same time, cell activity in these parts is also significantly weaker than other locations. I'm trying to activate..."
Kaito looked down at those instruments flashing light constantly. He guessed it was probably Saitama's attack, which didn't disappear completely with the repair of his flesh.
"Conceptual Level Attack..."
A greedy expression flashed across Kaito's face. Knowing this kind of injury could probably only be healed after returning to the Space, he paid no more attention, turning to say:
"Regarding Saitama, do you have any clues, Mr. Metal Knight? No, I should call you... Dr. Bofoi."
Metal Knight's movement paused. He also heard the implication in Kaito's words.
"What method do you have?"
