Chapter 177
We live in an era where standards no longer exist.
Humans—no, all species—have an average value. If the differences between individuals were abnormally large and their physical structures were too varied, they wouldn’t be able to form a species.
Every species is born with inherent dispositions and tendencies, and regardless of effort, there are always clear physical limits.
’Bullet dodging.’
For someone like me, it’s nothing special.
But humans were never meant to dodge bullets. No amount of training can make it possible. A stroke of incredible luck might allow it to happen once, but to deliberately reproduce it? Impossible.
In this era, we replace our bodies with machines, manipulate hormones and receptors, and chemically alter our nervous systems.
We live in an age where artificial modifications have become so common that the concept of an average value for a species has lost all meaning. This isn’t just about reaching the natural limits of one’s body—it’s about altering individuals so drastically that they could be considered an entirely different species.
That’s why battles like this, which should be impossible, can happen.
’Firelight weapons should never clash.’
Dodge and attack. Blocking should not even be an option.
