Arc 5: Break - 16
It's a new day, and the quiet feels almost unnatural. This morning carries an unusual air—both foreign and yet oddly familiar. The reason is clear: everyone is still affected by my performance from last night. Even now, they remain in that altered state, untouched by time, their minds ensnared in the lingering aftereffects of my display.
I've already attempted to revert them using Boundary Manipulation, yet it has failed to restore them. This only reinforces a sobering realization—despite all the cheats I've obtained, they are not omnipotent. Each one harbors hidden limitations I have yet to uncover.
Still, this merely means I need to obtain more cheats—more ways to bypass the unseen restrictions imposed upon me by using other cheats that deal with those restrictions placed on the current set of cheats. Fortunately, I have an abundance of options. Within the depths of my shadow, countless glowing books lie in wait, their numbers increasing as new ones continuously emerge.
However, I may not need to rely on them just yet. I already have an idea—one that could render Boundary Manipulation's hidden limitations nearly nonexistent when combined with specific other abilities.
With time on my side, I can afford to refine this approach. But first, I must fix the others.
Behind me, Solomon's Gate manifests, its intricate patterns shimmering with ancient power. A moment later, the Malevolent Shrine expands outward, merging into the very fabric of my surroundings, distorting reality itself. In my left hand, Marble Phantasm materializes, pulsing with raw potential, while my right hand grips Ichimonji. A dense purple fog seeps from my form, coiling around me like a living entity—the Ultimate Poison, its mere presence a testament to its lethality.
