Chapter 403: Saitama's Abnormality
[Fate Eternal], who appeared from the [Phase], also looked slightly surprised. He shook his head, spread his hands, and fell from the air.
"Sure enough, I'm still not very good at using that kind of power."
He grabbed his long hair somewhat irritably, showing none of the 'demeanor' of a [Supreme Powerhouse]. Even judging solely by feeling, this Fate Eternal didn't have as strong an aura as [Sage].
But let alone Kaito Shirogane, even Tornado didn't mock him at this time.
Both of them had witnessed the terrifying destructive power of his finger falling earlier, which nearly destroyed a city directly.
No matter how funny a guy with that kind of power looked, it made people unable to laugh.
The title [Fate Eternal], as the most peculiar one among [Mental Domain] Supreme Powerhouse titles, held two parts of Authority.
[Authority · Fate] governing the power of destiny;
[Authority · Eternal] governing the power of existence.
In the eyes of many Reincarnators qualified to compete for Supreme Powerhouse in the Mental Domain, [Fate Eternal] was absolutely an upper-level Supreme Title among Supreme Powerhouse titles.
But unfortunately, [Authority] wasn't an [Ability]. It wasn't like a game skill where one could use it with a thought once attributes were sufficient and it was learned.
[Authority] was a more 'metaphysical' ability, more profound. The effect of incomprehensible [Authority] was extremely poor.
The powers of these two Authorities of [Fate Eternal] belonged to the conceptual system, very difficult to understand. Both previous generations of [Fate Eternal] didn't show much dominance.
Even the previous generation [Fate Eternal] was directly killed by the current [Fate Eternal] in the Native World, seizing the [Supreme Crown] in a non-Space competition form.
Fate Eternal spread his hands, showing no intention of attacking the few people present. He knew very well that as long as he, who also retained the identity of [Human], didn't attack Saitama and didn't directly take any harmful actions, he wouldn't be killed by Saitama.
But Kaito sneered and suddenly spoke.
"Miss Tornado, this guy tortured Miss Fubuki quite terribly. That guy's subordinates, tsk tsk... didn't they want to kill Miss Fubuki in front of me just to lure you into the battle?"
Although Kaito with flying long hair had a somewhat similar style to Fate Eternal at this time, he was obviously more 'unrestrained.'
He could understand Fate Eternal's thoughts, but unfortunately, even if Saitama didn't act, Tornado wasn't an easy person to communicate with.
Especially... Sage's group really intended to kill Fubuki.
And what Kaito didn't know was that Fate Eternal indeed tried to prevent Tornado from intervening in the Spirit World battlefield by interfering with the perception of Tornado and Fubuki.
Tornado possessed combat power to check and balance Mob, which was an unstable factor affecting the [Project Black King].
At this moment, these previously laid moves began to converge.
Fate Eternal sighed, covering his face. He was already prepared to choose another Supreme Powerhouse title in the next [Supreme Powerhouse Competition] and give up [Fate Eternal].
This title was really too difficult to use.
He felt this title was probably more suitable for those Go masters; the bonus for him was really insufficient.
Kaito spoke to Mob again.
"Wasn't it this guy who schemed everything that caused Seasoning City to be destroyed? Saying it's fate, but actually..."
"Hey, hey, hey, as the predecessor of [Fatalism], it's not appropriate to say such things."
Kaito suddenly found he lost the ability to speak, unable to continue.
[Based on your Spirit attribute, you obtained the following information:]
[You are affected by Unknown Reincarnator's Divine Word · Decree. You lost the ability to speak]
Divine Word · Decree?
Kaito was still in the [Transcendent Helix] state, thinking extremely fast. He constantly searched for settings possibly related to this ability in his mind, and simultaneously predicted what Fate Eternal wanted to do.
Since he didn't want to kill him, nor did he want Mob to kill him.
At this moment, his only choice was... to banish him, then choose to fight Tornado himself, and subsequently let Mob continue to fight Saitama, returning everything to the predetermined ending.
In the next moment, Fate Eternal bent his finger slightly and flicked at Kaito. With a composed look in his eyes, his voice appeared in Kaito's ear simultaneously.
"Relax, I'm very good at controlling force. You won't die..."
Bang!
Because Kaito was deprived of [Language Ability], he couldn't warn Tornado and Saitama at all. This deprivation of [Language Ability] not only affected speaking, but even writing and other forms couldn't be used.
Kaito just watched Fate Eternal's action. He blocked in front of him with both hands. In the next moment, a huge finger appeared out of thin air.
Instantly flicked in front of Kaito.
The moment Kaito was knocked flying, Saitama and Tornado reacted simultaneously. One raised a hand to grab Kaito, while the other raised a hand directly, psychokinesis squeezing towards Fate Eternal.
Fate Eternal saw Mercenary Tao's right arm explode, but the left arm blocked in front of him intact.
"That arm is..."
He realized the extraordinariness of Mercenary Tao's left arm. In the next moment, the smile on Mercenary Tao's face was also reflected in his pupils without reservation.
This guy is really...
He sighed. Then his left hand formed a seal. A huge finger appeared from the sky again.
The atmosphere shattered with a boom. The intense burning and explosion when the finger tore the atmosphere instantly turned the sky into flames.
Since he wanted to continue the [Project Black King], wanting to eliminate Mercenary Tao and stall Tornado, he must bear the price.
That price naturally was...
The scene of a huge finger of tens of thousands of meters poking down from the air made both Tornado and Mob look serious. If this blow fell, the destruction of this desert would be a small matter.
Z-City would definitely be wiped out.
At the same time, the destructive earthquake and volcanic eruption caused by that intense impact would affect several nearby cities.
The two couldn't tolerate such an extinction attack.
The phantom behind Mob raised its hand. He prepared to face the enemy together with Tornado.
But Fate Eternal didn't even look at the two, just staring at that bald man.
Doing such behavior, the price naturally was facing Saitama...
Sure enough, Saitama frowned upon seeing this blow.
Under his distraction, Kaito had been knocked flying. But Saitama saw clearly that Mercenary Tao... was smiling.
Mercenary Tao wouldn't die under this attack; this was obvious. But he... why was he smiling?
Saitama lowered his head. Instead of attacking directly as Kaito and Fate Eternal guessed, he fell into a weird silence.
What is he smiling at...
Is there anything funny about this kind of thing?
Saitama didn't understand.
He wasn't stupid, just sometimes too lazy to care, to think.
But just at this moment, these two guys who suddenly appeared seemed to be using him as some kind of 'balancing tool.'
Every move wanted to involve him...
"A bit... boring."
Saitama raised his head. The expression on his face went from desolate to indifferent.
Fate Eternal's pupils contracted. At this moment, he felt the invisible Supreme Crown on his head tremble.
He had never seen that expression appearing on Saitama's face.
In a world that seemed static, Saitama slowly retracted his fist. Then, as Tornado and Mob slowly turned back to look at him, he punched towards the sky.
Boom!
The finger of tens of thousands of meters shattered instantly. The sky turned from deep blue to pitch black very quickly.
Crack.
Fate Eternal heard the sound of something shattering.
[Supreme Crown · Fate Eternal, shattered]
