Soul of Negary

“My powers are still there, but I just can’t use them. It feels like I’ve been split into two portions with one portion in a place I can’t reach no matter what” Killer J felt like even breathing took a lot of strength from him, Lisa also felt unbearably heavy in his hands.

“Seriously, do I have a setting where I can’t be awesome for more than three seconds or something? Just after I showed off to Red Tears and that leopard, I’m stuck here” Killer J sat down on the spot, still holding Lisa under his arm, almost as if the act of resisting the world’s gravity was outside of his limit.

…

〖 It feels like a border has been drawn across my existence, one side includes everything I can do, the other side includes everything outside of my limit 〗

At another location, having just used his germs to infect the poisonous snake and resolve his predicament, Guangnai was also feeling his capabilities disappearing bit by bit.

〖 Once the rest of myself is consumed by this border and falls outside of my ‘limit’, I would have been completely consumed by The Unreachable Gate. Although I would have made it to the other side of the gate, that ‘me’ would no longer be ‘me’ 〗

〖 The Unreachable Gate must ensure that his entire existence remains outside of my limit in order to retain his unreachable property. As soon as any part of his existence falls inside my limit, he would no longer be ‘unreachable’, I would then be able to regain the capabilities that had fallen outside of my limit, meaning I would have crossed The Unreachable Gate, his Pathway would also be broken 〗

〖 Because of this, The Unreachable Gate can never appear inside any limit, he is both powerful and weak 〗

Guangnai quickly analyzed all the information he obtained from observing The Unreachable Gate.

〖 Enduring the loneliness of never coming into contact with any entities, unable to even spread his own information. Everything that’s known about him must originate from the observation and comprehension of others, leading to The Unreachable Gate being unable to develop any worshippers of his own accord 〗

〖 His worshippers must have already reached their limits as well as having an extraordinary sense of perception in order to observe him 〗

〖 All of his information must be recorded through the observation of his worshippers. If The Unreachable Gate comes into contact with any worshippers, he must ensure to devour the portion that had come into contact with him, otherwise, there would be an opening in his Pathway 〗

〖 For this reason, all descriptions of The Unreachable Gate should be superficial, because they’re merely the observation of humans who happened to face his Pathway. Only another Pathway Entity would be able to somewhat accurately record his existence, but the other Righteous Gods would definitely not aid The Unreachable Gate with developing his forces 〗

〖 The situation would only be truly terrifying if The Unreachable Gate was supported by his worshippers. Not only would I have to endure The Unreachable Gate’s approach, I would also have to face the attacks of an enemy 〗Guangnai could clearly sense his capabilities being stripped away bit by bit.

〖 He surely has other weaknesses, otherwise, with this gradual invasion alone, The Unreachable Gate would have already been unbeatable 〗Guangnai felt like his ability to think itself was being limited.

However, at a certain point, this gradual invasion abruptly stopped. What was left of Guangnai’s ability to think observed himself to see what capabilities he had remaining: the power of Error, power of Impurity, the existence of the world virus, his soul connective substance, and some knowledge.

〖 So that’s how it is, he must have the corresponding knowledge in order to take something outside of the limit. This means that he also needs to observe and study any abilities or knowledge that he doesn’t know about 〗Negary instantly recognized another limit of The Unreachable Gate.

Because The Unreachable Gate had consumed a lot of humans and mages already, not to mention other life forms, he was able to rapidly strip away the majority of Guangnai’s capabilities in a matter of seconds.

But once he reached Negary’s core abilities, he had to slowly study and research them in order to take them outside Guangnai’s limit.

No wonder The Unreachable Gate couldn’t be considered first-rate among the Seven Gods despite them being wary of him. For the other Righteous Gods, each of them had their own Pathways that couldn’t possibly be seen through and understood in a short period of time, not even if they fully laid their Pathways out in the open.

Not to mention the fact that the Righteous Gods could fill their existences themselves with their own Pathways as the perfect defense; this way, The Unreachable Gate would first need to resolve a Righteous God’s Pathway before he could approach them.

As long as this layer of defense could be replaced faster than The Unreachable Gate could solve them, The Unreachable Gate would never be able to approach them.

〖 In summary, The Unreachable Gate only needs to stall, the longer he stalls, the more he can strip away, and the more he understands, the stronger he would become 〗

After realizing this fact, Guangnai immediately found a solution, his viral body began to grow rapidly and filled his entire vicinity with golden beads. At the same time, the power of Error created a layer of defense that protected him from being affected by The Unreachable Gate.

The power of Error was originally a very individualistic ability. One’s correctness could easily be another’s error, and since there was a difference in thought processes between The Unreachable Gate and Guangnai, it would be relatively difficult for The Unreachable Gate to comprehend Guangnai’s correctness.

During this time, Guangnai began to study himself once more. As the world virus created to house Negary’s existence, the golden beads themselves also contained all sorts of knowledge and means of protection, from which Guangnai was able to regain his knowledge.

Very quickly, other than a few unique knowledge and powers, Guangnai regained his strength. He had also upgraded the Error layer of defense to ensure that The Unreachable Gate wouldn’t be able to approach him.

After closely observing The Unreachable Gate, he had realized The Unreachable Gate’s weakness: he was able to consume the existence of another if he fully comprehended them, but if others fully comprehended his existence, they would also be able to reach him in return.

For The Unreachable Gate, being reached was nothing short of the most terrifying occurrence.

However, as he noticed how Guangnai had found a means of defending himself, The Unreachable Gate disappeared.

Their battle had only just begun, and The Unreachable Gate managed to take the initiative, obtaining a lot of information about Negary from Guangnai. If Guangnai hadn’t been able to realize The Unreachable Gate’s weakness before his ability to think was completely stripped away, The Unreachable Gate would have gained an absolute advantage.

By the time Guangnai reached Killer J, he saw Killer J laying flat on the ground; The Unreachable Gate on his body was also quickly fading away, but Lisa was already nowhere to be seen.

Killer J had only lost his most basic capabilities while perfectly retaining his essence. His highly chaotic soul structure was still a mystery to Negary himself, so The Unreachable Gate wasn’t able to fully consume him in such a short period of time.

After Guangnai used his germs to remake Killer J’s body, he revived with full HP on the spot. With an irritated expression, he crouched in front of a small tree, pulled out a small notebook from somewhere and began to write something.

[August 22nd, old Gate made me weak at the knees and hips, lost all my spirit, drained my body of all my strength. I’ll remember this grudge and beat his head in the next time I have a chance]

After writing that, he also doodled a panda with a shit-eating grin next to that line.
