Chapter 406: Saitama's Mutation

Fate Eternal, who appeared from the 【Phase】, also felt slightly surprised; he shook his head, spread his hands, and descended from the sky.

"As expected, I am still not very good at using that kind of power."

He grabbed his long hair in some agitation, possessing none of the "demeanor" of a 【Supreme Being】; even judging solely by the impression he gave, this Fate Eternal did not have as powerful an aura as the 【Sage】.

But let alone Bai Cangshu, even Tatsumaki did not mock him at this moment.

Both of these two had previously witnessed the terrifying destructive power of the other's single finger descending, which had nearly destroyed an entire city directly.

No matter how ridiculous a guy who possessed that kind of power looked, it made one unable to laugh.

The title 【Fate Eternal】, as the most peculiar one among the titles of Supreme Beings in the 【Spirit Domain】, possessed two parts of authority.

The 【Authority of Fate】, which governs the power of destiny;

The 【Authority of Eternity】, which governs the power of existence.

In the eyes of many Reincarnators qualified to compete for the title of Supreme Being in the Spirit Domain, 【Fate Eternal】 was definitely a top-tier Supreme Being title among all such titles.

But unfortunately, things like 【Authority】 are not 【Abilities】; they are no longer like game skills where, once your stats are sufficient and you have learned them, you can use them with a mere thought.

【Authority】 is a more "metaphysical" ability, more profound; 【Authority】 that cannot be understood has extremely poor effects.

The powers of these two types of 【Authority】 of 【Fate Eternal】 both belong to the conceptual system and are very difficult to understand; the two previous generations of 【Fate Eternal】 who had appeared did not demonstrate any sort of dominating power.

The previous generation of 【Fate Eternal】 was even killed directly by the current 【Fate Eternal】 in the Native World, seizing the 【Supreme Being Crown】 in a form other than a spatial competition.

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 a 【Human】, did not attack Saitama and did not directly commit any harmful actions, he would not be killed by Saitama.

Bai Cangshu, however, sneered and suddenly spoke.

"Miss Tatsumaki, this guy tortured Miss Fubuki quite badly, didn't he? That guy's subordinate, tsk tsk... wasn't it precisely to kill Miss Fubuki in front of me and draw you into the battle?"

Although Bai Cangshu, with his long hair fluttering, looked somewhat similar to Fate Eternal at this moment, he was clearly more "unrestrained."

He could understand Fate Eternal's thoughts, but unfortunately, while Saitama would not attack, Tatsumaki was not a person who was easy to communicate with.

Especially since... that group of people with the Sage really did have the intention of killing Fubuki.

And what Bai Cangshu did not know was that Fate Eternal had indeed previously attempted to interfere with the perception of Tatsumaki and Fubuki to prevent Tatsumaki from intervening in the Spirit World battlefield.

Tatsumaki possessed combat power capable of checking Kageyama Shigeo and was an unstable factor that would affect the 【Black King Project】.

At this very moment, these moves laid out earlier were beginning to converge.

Fate Eternal sighed and covered his face; he was already prepared to choose another Supreme Being title in the next 【Supreme Being Competition】 and abandon 【Fate Eternal】.

This title was truly a bit too difficult to use.

He felt that this title was probably more suitable for those Go masters; the bonus it gave him was simply insufficient.

Bai Cangshu spoke to Kageyama Shigeo again.

"Isn't it just this guy who let everything be calculated, causing Seasoning City to be destroyed in one fell swoop? It's called fate, but in reality..."

"Hey, hey, hey, as the predecessor of 【Fatalism】, saying such things is not very appropriate."

Bai Cangshu suddenly discovered that he had lost his Language Ability and could not continue speaking.

【Based on your Spirit attribute, you have obtained the following information:】

【You have been affected by an unknown Reincarnator's Divine Word: Edict; you have lost your Language Ability.】

Divine Word: Edict?

Bai Cangshu was still in the Super Limit Spiral state, his thinking speed extremely fast; he continuously searched his mind for settings that might be related to this ability, and at the same time, he had already predicted what Fate Eternal wanted to do.

Since he was unwilling to kill himself, nor was he willing to let Kageyama Shigeo kill him.

At this very moment, his only choice was... to banish himself, then choose to fight Tatsumaki, and subsequently let Kageyama Shigeo continue to fight Saitama to the death, letting everything return to the predetermined ending.

The next moment, Fate Eternal slightly curled his fingers and flicked them toward Bai Cangshu; his eyes carried a calm expression, and his voice appeared in Bai Cangshu's ear at the same time.

"Rest assured, I am very good at controlling my strength; you will not die..."

Bang!

Because Bai Cangshu had been deprived of his 【Language Ability】, he was fundamentally unable to warn Tatsumaki and Saitama; this deprivation of 【Language Ability】 not only affected speaking, but even other forms such as writing could not be used.

Bai Cangshu only watched Fate Eternal's movement; he blocked with his hands in front of him, and the next moment, a giant finger appeared out of thin air.

It crashed in front of Bai Cangshu in an instant.

The moment Bai Cangshu was sent flying, Saitama and Tatsumaki reacted simultaneously; one raised a hand to grab Bai Cangshu, while the other directly raised a hand, using Superpower to pinch toward Fate Eternal.

Fate Eternal saw Tao Baibai's right arm explode, but his left arm remained intact, blocking in front of him.

"That arm is..."

He realized the extraordinariness of Tao Baibai's left arm, and the next moment, the smile on Tao Baibai's face was reflected in his pupils without reservation.

This guy is really...

He sighed, then his left hand formed a mudra, and the giant finger appeared from the sky once again.

The atmosphere shattered with a boom; the violent burning and explosions as the finger tore through the atmosphere instantly turned the sky into flames.

Since he wanted to continue the 【Black King Project】, wanted to eliminate Tao Baibai, and hold back Tatsumaki, he inevitably had to pay a price.

That price was naturally...

The scene of a giant finger tens of thousands of meters long poking down from the sky made both Tatsumaki and Kageyama Shigeo look solemn; if this strike landed, the destruction of this desert was a small matter.

Z City would definitely cease to exist.

At the same time, the destructive Earthquake and volcanic eruptions caused by such a violent impact would affect several nearby cities.

This kind of genocidal attack was something the two could not tolerate.

The phantom behind Kageyama Shigeo raised its hands; he prepared to face the enemy together with Tatsumaki.

But Fate Eternal did not even look at the two of them, only staring at that bald man.

The price for his own actions was naturally to face Saitama...

Saitama was indeed frowning as he saw this strike.

With his distraction, Bai Cangshu had already been knocked away, but Saitama saw clearly that that Tao Baibai... was smiling.

Tao Baibai would not die from this attack; such a thing was obvious, but he... why was he laughing?

Saitama lowered his head; he did not strike immediately as Bai Cangshu and Fate Eternal had guessed, but instead fell into a strange silence.

What was he laughing at...

Was there anything funny about this kind of thing?

Saitama did not understand.

He was not stupid, just sometimes too lazy to care or to think.

But at this moment, these two guys who had suddenly appeared seemed to be using him as some kind of "balancing tool."

Every move they made was trying to get him involved...

"It's... a bit boring."

Saitama raised his head, the expression on his face shifting from desolate to indifferent.

Fate Eternal's pupils constricted; at this moment, he felt the invisible Supreme Being Crown atop his head tremble.

He had never seen the expression that appeared on Saitama's face before.

In a world that seemed to have come to a standstill, Saitama slowly clenched his fist, and then, as Tatsumaki and Kageyama Shigeo slowly turned their heads to look at him, he punched toward the sky.

Boom!

The tens of thousands of meters of fingers shattered in an instant, and the sky quickly turned from deep blue to pitch black.

Crack!

Fate Eternal heard the sound of something shattering.

【Supreme Being Crown: Fate Eternal, has shattered】
