I'm Out

3 Months Later: Naohiro

Playing chess with one of if not the smartest beings in all of history can make one feel stupid.

However, I won my first game!

I'm now 1:965!

Someone might ask, how did you win?

*BAM*

On his last move, I punched him in the face before he could checkmate me, which made him coincidentally move a piece that allowed me to checkmate him.

A voice speaks from out of the dust cloud that was made. "That is very poor sportsmanship Naohiro."

I smiled. "A wins a win."

The dust cleared to him smiling. "That is indeed the case, isn't it?"

I crack my neck and stand up. "Welp, I'm done with chess."

So, I've figured this stupid barrier out.

It works similarly to infinity; however, it is slightly different in that the properties change ever so slightly.

While they are similar, the amount of shifts will never reach zero.

Also, there is a pattern to the shifts.

Tengen made their timing seem random, which threw me off, but after a few months of being here and fully focusing on the properties, I've figured it out.

She is a damn good barrier user.

However, she missed one crucial detail about my abilities.

...

I'm not Mahoraga.

...

My adaptation works differently since it has multiple properties that make it suited for me instead of a behemoth like Mahoraga.

While Mahoraga gains visual adaptation like gills, my body reacts as if I had gills by allowing me to breathe in water instead of showcasing a visible change.

The main difference is that my adaptations can be mixed and matched.

This barrier also isn't like the prison realm.

Cursed energy does not get removed.

The prison realm seals cursed energy, and since I've adapted to that kind of sealing, adding that property to the barrier would be useless.

Keeping the amount of properties of the barrier down makes it easier to keep stable.

Tengen knew this, so she made it fundamentally different from the prison realm's sealing method.

She created a semi-automated barrier that can seal some of the strongest beings in the world.

What a monster.

Even though I couldn't escape under normal circumstances, I have a brain and can use abilities more efficiently than Mahoraga.

I smile as I remember something I haven't used in years.

Binding Vows.

Sacrificial deals made with the world can give benefits at a cost.

They can be simple, like Kenjaku making deals with past sorcerers, or be heavily amplified by giving up everything, like in the case of Miwa.
