Chapter 53: The Possibility of Evolution

The sudden burst out of the smoke screen resembled a cannonball, far exceeding the limits of human dynamic vision, making it possible for most people to catch only a vague black shadow. Even the black smoke that had been hovering around his body was dragged into a long black ribbon due to the acceleration beyond the limit.

The fluctuations coming from the void are still terrifying, and the majesty of the king is still intimidating, but at this moment, those seemingly powerful treasures cannot protect the safety of heroes...

Because another sharp blade wrapped in black gas is already approaching Gilgamesh's throat!

—————————————————————————————————————

Criticality.

This once unknown power is gradually fading the veil of mystery for the current master of ceremonies.

The strengthening of "atonement" and his own use of this power are constantly deepening his control and cognition of this power, and until now, he has his own preliminary understanding of this power.

As mentioned before, the so-called threshold is actually the boundary of human beings, and it is the boundary that living organisms can call human beings... It can also be said to be the so-called human limit.

So, what exactly is a "human"?

Everyone has their own answer to this question, and from a more specific and objective point of view, the question becomes extremely complex.

…

But at least two things are certain, firstly, humans cannot reach 100% of their potential.

In terms of body structure, theoretically, from the level of technical skills... There are all kinds of theories, but there is only one meaning that I want to express - the amount of power that human beings can really exert is only a small part of their own body. This is not only the subconscious protection of the brain for the body, but also because of the deviation of the human brain and body functions.

However, the so-called "critical breakthrough" breaks this iron rule for mankind.

As the first and first critical point to touch, the person who has mastered it can maximize his potential - muscles, strength, agility, dynamic vision, nervous reflexes... Even cell viability and immunity. All the powers that human beings should have but have been concealed have been fully utilized.

But the cost is equally obvious...

In the end, such behavior is just an overdraft. Because the energy required to move is always constant, regardless of the efficiency and method used, the successful use of the "tipping breach" may help people get out of the crisis, but there is no doubt that it is also a form of chronic suicide.

This is the price of touching the threshold, but this is far from the whole story.

The so-called human beings, in addition to not being able to fully realize their potential, also have another iron rule... It is that as living organisms, human beings, like all other known creatures, are unable to complete absolute changes in their abilities and intelligence in an instant.

To put it simply, everyone has their own limits. Even after using the "Critical Breakthrough" to unlock the potential, this limit remains the same.

The force of 100 kg is still 100 kg, no more, no less...

However, "Critical Transcendence" has changed this iron rule, and it has also made the user deviate even more from the right path of the title of human being.

After successfully breaking through the threshold, users who transcend this state can even modify their physical limits to a certain extent!

- Replace bone and muscle structures when you need to run, increase muscle fibers when you need to fight, and strengthen immune cells when you need to fight...

This kind of transformation that goes straight to genes and the essence of life has completely departed from the category of human beings, and at this stage, it is no longer the so-called intensification, but a kind of evolution...

Critical transcendence shows the possibility of human beings evolving into more powerful life forms.

… But at this time, evolution is still an incomplete and inlong-term state.

Because there is no way to maintain this change for a long time, the user's body will still instinctively degenerate into its previous state, and only change when this force is used.

In addition, the more important point is that this change still does not escape the category of energy and matter, but the change of similar chemical reaction also brings more serious energy and material loss due to its great power. This makes it even more difficult to use this power as a human being.

And this is also the state that the master of ceremonies can achieve and actually use.

… It is true that the special physique of the Heroic Spirit has helped him share a large part of the pressure, but the "Critical Transcendence" still cannot be used as a means of perpetual opening, but he has no choice in the face of the strong enemy in front of him.

Fortunately, the power gained at these costs is unquestionable.

"Buzz !!"

It is unimaginable that a cold weapon can exert such power in such a state of being held in the hands of a person!

The original dazzling golden Noble Phantasm had long been covered in black and red lines, but because of this, this fierce soldier that never reflected any light in the bright moonlight was even more deadly!

Never leave a hand!

At a close distance, although Gilgamesh used the fastest speed to release a limited number of treasures as a buffer, in the face of the berserker who suddenly became more powerful at this moment, the sharp methods of the past seemed to be stretched.

"Cang!!"

In the state of "critical transcendence", the data of the emcee's body far exceed the A+ rating. In the face of the Flying Treasures that were once very difficult for ordinary heroic spirits to even have complete insight, in his eyes now, these are just toys that stand still in place.

The sword in his grip slashed through the void, and he accurately struck the hilts of the two spinning battle axes with his blade - the slightest collision and force barely changed the aim and speed of his sword, but at the same time, it perfectly cut away all the murder weapons that tried to stand in his way!

The master of ceremonies who appeared here as a berserker did not inherit the glory of any knighthood, and if he could remove this biggest obstacle here, he would not hesitate either!

… Unlike the king of conquest, who is righteous and tries his best to maintain the balance of the battlefield in order to win. The master of ceremonies is more than willing to try to weaken the enemy's vitality at a small cost when possible, so as to achieve the ultimate victory in the war.

That's why the scene is out of control that no one expected!

The originally menacing Archer was suppressed by a fanatic to such an extent, and there was no extremely powerful Noble Phantasm, but he was going to be cut down by the enemy at the very beginning of the war?

The air froze quietly, and the sharp blade of the sword

… Another inch forward!
