Chapter 493: The Boundary and the Cartoonist’s Ability
"The Boundary is the closest place outside the Primordial Tower where the Deep Ones can approach," the Cartoonist told him. "Being the place of the afterlife, all Death-personifications across the Multiverse have special authority over it."
He still had a hat over his head.
His pointy goatee looked disheveled and he kept biting the carrot, reveling in its flavor.
"That's why you must have the Resurrection Stone or something like that," the Cartoonist said, taking a mirror out of nowhere and attending to his beard. "Also, you must have the The Scion of Death, as a Title, Standalone Title, or... Well, anyway. Both help in connecting a Contestant to this place."
Kai listened to the man with a buried gloom in his eyes.
The Cartoonist had already told him about the Debugging and its odd relationship with the Tournament of Worth with the theme—Survival.
Now Kai knew the reason for everything.
Now he knew why he had concluded that he had been destined to fail.
Only by giving up on his true Self, his Attitude, could Kai clear the Samurai's Task. But that would have been as good as failing it, too.
Men like Kai were shameless for anything and anyone except their beliefs.
No matter how twisted those beliefs were, they were his. Without them, he could never take another step with confidence.
