Chapter 596 596: Kaito Shirogane's Vessel
Seraphina looked up, watching the golden-red pillar of ki soaring into the sky, like a key breaking open the gates of heaven, directly changing the scene in the sky.
The dark clouds that had lingered over this continent year-round completely dissipated without a trace in an instant. The vast river of stars, absent for an unknown number of years, appeared once again above the heads of this generation.
"So beautiful~"
The red-haired young girl looked up and sighed. On her wrist, crimson fresh blood was still continuously dripping. Noticing this, Artoria was just about to step forward.
Seraphina, however, reached out and pointed at the sky.
Layers of golden ripples could almost cover the entire continent. The huge eye within it contained countless tiny pupils. At this moment, this thing seemed to want to break free from the illusory space. The space near the eye twisted, dragging downwards for thousands of meters.
On the other side, within that bronze vortex, a huge dragon head poked out from it. The black-red dragon scales were dense, as if countless flames were born and extinguished. As this dragon head appeared, that space of twisted time rapidly expanded.
In an instant, the bronze vortex seemed to also cover half the sky.
But these two anomalies, which should have been incomparably terrifying and oppressed the entire world, were both reduced to supporting roles at this moment.
Because an extreme power, so surging that it made everyone subconsciously clutch their hearts and gasp for air, had already appeared.
Standing proudly above the ocean, the thousand-meter-tall scarlet giant raised its hands. Its body was completely enveloped by golden ki. That ki was incomparably terrifying; even the top-tier mystic arts practitioners of this world had never seen such a terrifying frenzy of energy.
Even more terrifying was that, outside this already incredibly powerful energy frenzy, an even more massive scarlet blood mist wrapped around it.
Every moment, on the body surface of this thousand-meter giant, countless flesh and blood shattered, turning into scale-like powder, rushing up into the unknown sky together with that ki soaring into the sky.
This pain of flesh and blood flying about seemed to spawn countless wails by Kaito Shirogane's ears. That howling sound, completely enveloping the brain, was enough to destroy most people's sanity.
But Kaito Shirogane wouldn't be. He had long been accustomed to countless souls wailing day and night within his body. Begging for mercy, tearful complaints, verbal abuse, curses... no matter how intense the methods, he had long been used to seeing them.
The howling sounds of these people seemed to provide background music for his evolution. In this lively environment, he only felt increasingly thrilled.
"Ha! Hahaha!"
"I will break through that limit!"
Four Times Kaioken!
Boom!
Almost in an instant, he felt that the exterior of his huge physical body at this moment, nearly half of the meat volume, directly shattered. Blood vessels, internal organs, and bones were completely exposed and shattered on a large scale.
Now that he had activated the Qilin Armor, under the regular three times efficacy mode, he inherently possessed actual Strength, Constitution, and Spirit attributes approaching 180 points. Even if his Agility attribute was slightly weaker, it was still close to 150 points.
Not to mention, the collapse value of Despairing Savior hadn't reached the point where the Despairing Savior mode could be activated, but it had already passively provided a bonus of several dozen points.
The Kaito Shirogane in this world at this moment was powerful enough to make his past self, who defeated the three people including Mahakala one-versus-three in the real world, feel despair.
"Uh~ ah... Ha!"
Kaito Shirogane felt the terrifying power continuously bursting forth from within his body. His mouth subconsciously opened, letting out meaningless roars.
That originated from his instinct, a passive venting after power was suppressed to the extreme.
[You activated Four Times Kaioken]
[Your physical body has overloaded... the physical body is about to collapse]
[Detected the existence of the special lifeform: Furnace of Life. You are already in the furnace state, vitality is massively increased]
Kaito Shirogane inherently possessed high-tier immortality and Instant Self-Healing that surpassed High-Speed Regeneration. But even so, he normally still couldn't activate the Four Times Kaioken in the Qilin Armor state.
Just like in the Goddess's Dwelling, that instantaneous load would make his physical body completely collapse in an instant, with absolutely no chance to repair and self-heal.
What determined this load gap was exactly his vitality, or biological level!
Kaito Shirogane originally planned to rely on continuous eating. The Cook coordinating with Gourmet Cells was indeed enough to steadily increase his biological level in the long run.
But he didn't expect that the special Dragon world he entered actually coincidentally had such a Furnace of Life, and the other party had even absorbed him into it.
More importantly, the Crimson Blood he extracted from Seraphina's wrist earlier—that drop of blood seemed to contain the power capable of taming the wills of the Old Gods within the countless beastified lifeforms in the Furnace of Life.
Amidst various coincidences, Kaito Shirogane achieved this peak state at this very moment.
The terrifying biological level of the Furnace of Life kept Kaito Shirogane's own physical body from shattering at this moment. The terrifying vitality caused the lost flesh and blood of this flesh-and-blood giant to instantly regenerate.
Kaito Shirogane only felt his power growing stronger and stronger, his whole person filled with power so strong he was about to explode.
He instinctively roared at the sky. The shockwave directly pierced the firmament, shattering the sea of clouds. His terrifying presence completely suppressed the Crimson Pope Laurence and the fully revived King of Bronze and Fire.
[Detected that your total attributes have exceeded 2000 points. The Limiter is forcibly opening...]
[Limiter opening extent increased, current: 9%]
[Limiter opening extent increased, current: 9.1%]
...
[Limiter opening extent increased, current: 9.9%]
As if encountering an ultimate shackle, the Space's interface seemed to have bugged out, constantly flashing the same content in front of Kaito Shirogane.
The progress of that Limiter opening started to pop up repeatedly after 9.9.
Kaito Shirogane closed his eyes. He could feel as if he was a flying insect trapped in amber. Clearly, there was still greater power within his body, but it was just locked inside his body, unable to burst out.
It was like a gas tank about to explode, but sealed by a tiny box.
That sense of being shackled made Kaito Shirogane feel his own insignificance and narrowness like never before.
Ha, so I am only a Vessel of this level!
Although Kaito Shirogane hadn't said it, he was extremely proud of his own power, whether in the ordinary human world or facing various Reincarnators after entering the Infinite Dimensional Space.
Purely in terms of power and the mastery of various powers, he was peerlessly strong!
Even those so-called Supreme Beings like the End of Days Great Sun, in Kaito Shirogane's eyes, merely came into contact with this world earlier than himself.
Given a little more time, he could shatter them with a wave of his hand!
The understanding of power of these people was all too shallow, and the adaptability of those physical bodies to power was all too weak.
Weak, very weak, extremely weak. All so weak it made people laugh!
But at this very moment, he also similarly perceived his own insignificance. Although he knew long ago that it was impossible to be as terrifyingly unmatched as Broly or that Nanami Yasuri.
But he didn't expect to touch his own limit so early.
The limit belonging to Kaito Shirogane as a Vessel.
On the blurry face of the flesh and blood giant, the eyebrows and eyes arched upwards violently, as if to shatter his own brow bone. His entire face was twisted to the extreme.
That was an arrogance continuously radiating from the inside out, a reckless anger and haughtiness to surpass the limit.
Kaito Shirogane believed from the bottom of his heart that he was not a guy of this level, that he would not stop at this realm.
"Shatter for me!"
Crack!
As if an invisible power broke through the final shackle, and also as if that layer of Vessel wrapped beneath Kaito Shirogane's flesh and blood, shattered.
