Azkar, floating above, witnessed Zytharion in his demonic form. Zytharion resembled a creature straight out of the depths of hell—his skin ablaze in crimson, his visage so horrifying that even a momentary glance was unbearable. His appearance was marked by two menacing horns, long jet-black hair cascading down, and imposing bat-like wings spread wide. Intricate runes and tattoos adorned his entire body, amplifying his fearsome demonic aura.
Azkar was emotionless even upon witnessing the transformation because, during this time, he was utilizing his second brain. This is the reason he doesn't have any emotions; he is currently a killing machine, relentlessly trying to find a way to eliminate this demon, regardless of the cost.
"[[ Reality Perception ]]" Azkar thought, and everything in front of him became a multicolored particle. Yes! This particle makes up everything in existence in this reality. It comprises quarks, leptons; these subatomic particles create atoms, protons, electrons, neutrons, and then they form matter. Eventually, they give rise to something, for example, a cell in the human body, the smallest unit of the human body.
Currently, Azkar is perceiving everything at the fundamental unit of existence level. He sees all the fundamental building blocks that make up this reality. His objective is to analyze every aspect of the target—from his abilities and existence to every move and every possible scenario that could lead to victory against this demon.
Azkar's ultimate authority, the "Infinite Computational Particle Hive," activated. Every origin particle in existence began to compute with him. He provided data to each particle in his halo and his body, amplifying his computing power to infinity. Subsequently, he commenced analyzing everything about the demon in front of him, resembling many small fundamental building blocks coming together to form its existence.
As Azkar perceives everything at the fundamental unit of existence level, everything comes to a halt, and the concept of time ceases to exist. His computing power is infinite, coupled with an endless thought process.
With his null acceleration ability, he can literally make time split itself, granting him infinite time. Consequently, he can accomplish anything seamlessly, and when he completes his tasks, not even a second passes in the original time flow.
He analyzes everything about Zytharion, and now he sees the data on the status panel. He is going to calculate every possible scenario and delve into everything about Zytharion's abilities to find a counter.
[[ Zytharion has {Sense Nullification} innate ability, giving him the power to nullify all senses of enemies within a 500m distance. I can counter this using my {Circuit Threads} to nullify it, reserving them for my other senses, as he cannot nullify my eyes.
The Dark Wings grant him the ability to fly at mark 20, meaning 20 times the speed of sound. While I can only fly at mark 10, I can counter this with my null acceleration ability. By moving in different time, speed is not a problem for me.
Rune magic marks his body, enhancing his base powers. However, it doesn't matter to me as long as I can trap him in my cube of nothingness.
The Chaos Core is a bit tricky, providing him with mana 10 times that of a normal demon in the same rank. It ensures he doesn't die permanently; once deceased, the Chaos Core revives him in his demon holy land, with the side effect of losing his cultivation rank. However, he can be killed if placed in the Cube of Nothingness.
Even with just one innate ability being balance-breaking, Zytharion possesses authorities surpassing his innate abilities.
Mana Manipulation grants him absolute authority over mana, allowing him to manipulate it at will. However, I can counter it effortlessly.
His Ancient Magic grants absolute authority over lost ancient magic. With a simple spell, he can easily destroy this planet as he's a world-ranked expert. The only reason this planet remains intact is because he needs something from it. If he realizes he can't defeat me, he'll destroy the planet, killing everything in the process, including me.
Each sin in his possession — Sin of Wrath, Sin of Envy, Sin of Greed, Sin of Gluttony, Sin of Lust — grants him absolute authority over their respective aspects. He can control greed, lust, and envy, but I can counter it. In my current form, I lack any feelings, so he cannot manipulate my emotions or feelings.
Vector Manipulation grants him absolute authority over controlling any kind of vector, and the problem is, everything in existence has a vector. He uses this authority to shield his body, causing any attack directed towards him to automatically reflect itself. Additionally, he can manipulate his speed using Vector Manipulation. He can destroy this planet easily by halting its rotation in just a fraction of a second, illustrating how effortlessly he can do so.
No physical attack can hit him because every physical attack has a vector. However, I can counter his ability to calculate every vector change in the surroundings. If I catch him off guard, I can trap him in my Cube of Nothingness.
Space Manipulation grants him authority over the space nearby, allowing control similar to his breathing. He can create a domain using this ability, making it nearly impossible for his enemy to defeat him. By combining Vector Manipulation and Space Manipulation, he can employ the devastating [Reality Slash] skill. This attack is immensely powerful, capable of instantly cutting through anything in this reality, leaving no chance for escape.
Although I can survive this attack using null acceleration by shifting my position in different times, his total control over space becomes my Achilles' heel, reducing my chances of winning against him.
Blood Manipulation grants him authority over blood, allowing him to control the blood of his enemies and inflict brutal deaths. Additionally, he can use this authority to accelerate his blood circulation, providing a significant boost to his base power.
His laws grant him authority over every element, enabling manipulation of Space, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.
After analyzing everything, I've come to the conclusion that my chances of winning against him are now at 10%. Technically, I cannot defeat him using only my powers alone. However, I have a solid plan that will work—I just need to wait for the chance to get the opening.]] " Azkar thought, calculating every possible scenario and considering every potential counter for his target's abilities in a Zero ( Null ] second.
Technically, he analyzed Zytharion first, then he disseminated this data to every origin particle in his halo and body, dividing the task. Consequently, there are now infinite particles inside his halo and body, given that everything is composed of origin codic particles. With the data distributed to each particle, both he and every particle begin computing simultaneously. The sheer infiniteness of particles, impossible to count by numbers, enables him to calculate everything in practically zero seconds.
