Chapter 114

While some people were still arguing about whether César was good or evil, more people had already sensitively noticed Ursula's thoughts, which almost occupied half of the page.

[I have a feeling this ending will be like be, and the world will be he... "hot"]

[Main Post: As the title says, when I saw the latest chapter, I looked back at the previous summary post and reread the manga. I can only say that "Absolute Talent" has been laying traps from the beginning, ready to kill us all... Could it be that the three people traveling together at the beginning were just a scam to kill me (crying) Zhiyi, you have no heart (crying)]

[I'm getting off topic. When the Federal Director's daughter showed up and said that, I honestly didn't think it would connect to the later plot. I thought it was simply to highlight Xia Zuo's importance as the protagonist and to throw in a wave of close friendship. But then... and like someone mentioned above, Caesar and Xia Zuo's first meeting was also very strange. And Caesar never seemed particularly happy, did he?

If he had known from the beginning that his fate was inevitable, that would explain why, with a life that seemed to end so clearly, there was no motivation to continue living...

[1l: Honestly, I watched "Absolute Gifted" purely for the relationship between the main characters, but when I saw Ursula's scene, I was completely stunned...]

Can I understand that César truly has the most sincere feelings for his friends, but he can't change his fate at all. No matter how he tries, everything will eventually follow the predetermined trajectory, and he might even hurt others (the Dead Sea monster comes ashore and the world turns upside down in the be ending). So he can only silently and gently face his future...

[2l: Replying to 1l, I really burst into tears. My favorite character in "Absolute Talent" is actually César. It's not because he's mysterious or smart, but because of his contradictory yet gentle temperament. That kind of helplessness and gentleness hidden beneath his nonchalant appearance, visible through small details.]

[3l: He's clearly the real angel, so why are you calling him a villain...]

[4l: Yeah, and it seems everyone's overlooked that "cornerstone." That "cornerstone"! It sounds like a character who must sacrifice everything for self-sacrifice. Ze Shen cherishes friendship and the world, but he never thinks about himself... If my guess is true, and the cornerstone isn't misleading, then combined with Ze Shen's previous behavior, not wanting to live but having to live for the world, that's pretty cruel, isn't it?]

[5l: Yes, he was even physically weak for over a decade because of it. You all know how he vomited blood after being slapped in the face when he first met the protagonist in the comics (crying and covering his chest)...]

[6l: I feel like Caesar is gradually losing his "humanity." The gentleness, compassion, and friendship he wanted to preserve are all being stripped away from him piece by piece, like a slow slicing of flesh...]

[7l: The above discussion of lingchi is so fitting. I saw someone on the forum summarize the three stages and it gave me a similar feeling!! I really don't think Xizel wants to become a god. It doesn't seem like his pursuit and doesn't fit with his character at all, let alone hurting his friends for the sake of becoming a god...]

I'm more inclined to believe he carries an inescapable mission, a destiny predetermined from birth, and that fate will eventually correct itself, ensuring all of this happens and proceeds... If he attempts to disobey or resist, even unexpected and worse things may happen...

[8l: Replying to 4l and 7l, damn, you guys gave me a new idea. Let me briefly describe it (blade warning)]

We know that Christine definitely has memories of spending time with her close friends, as evidenced by her earlier conversation with Xia Zuo. But if César had already undergone a transformation by then, then I think what he lost was the affection for that memory—or rather, he watched that memory like we watch a movie, perhaps feeling a little emotionally moved, but definitely not being able to be as open-hearted with his friends as the characters in the movie.

[So he knew everything about Xia Zuo, and he also knew his past and future, what kind of person he was before, and what his choices meant.]

So, he would say to Xia Zuo: "Of course I feel sorry for him."

"You will never understand or know how sad I am, Freeman."

[9l: "You won't understand, and you won't know how sad I am"... Having a knife stuffed in my mouth from the upstairs, I've almost spit out all the blood... Only now do I truly understand what kind of mood Kristen was in when she said this. Sob, sob, sob. He looks at his past self, the self who had friendship and was not completely unable to return... Sob, so ...

[10l: I am the original 8l, I haven’t finished speaking yet ()]

Now, let's get to the point I want to make, about "fate's self-correction and punishment." When you read the manga, did you notice that Nishizawa's carefree laziness and disconnectedness were completely natural? Now, I feel even more strongly that the emotion I felt when I first read the manga wasn't laziness, but exhaustion.

So, at first, Xia Zuo was incredibly nervous about Caesar. Xia Zuo is intuitive, and I think he subconsciously felt that Caesar was the type who could die at any moment. He probably felt the sense of disconnection and separation more clearly than we do. I've always believed that Xia Zuo wasn't stupid. It was precisely because he could understand Caesar's inner world to a certain extent that he was able to become friends with Ze Shen, and this is also why he firmly believed that his friend was not a bad person.

[In the middle and late stages, Ursula also joined in, and the three of them got along more naturally. Caesar rarely had that kind of empty and detached expression anymore (see the episode where he and Xia Zuo were riding in the hovercraft. It's really heartbreaking to watch it now, and hiding in the hat was so cute). It was as if he had forgotten what he had to face eventually, and Xia Zuo didn't think Caesar ever wanted to die again.]

[However, at this time, the Federation and the Patrol Tower appeared together, and two S-level talent holders surrounded Xia Zuo.]

[Have you noticed? In fact, from the moment the little princess in the red dress came to the city wall and said to Caesar, "Freeman is the most important, he is the key," Caesar's expression and demeanor had changed... He remembered who Freeman was, who the key was, and who he was.]

He understood who was responsible for everything that was happening now, including Xia Zuo Freeman's life being in danger.

So he smiled, a perfect smile, and said without any hesitation or delay—

"I will die for him."

[This is the biggest turning point, the beginning of the accelerated rotation of the gears of fate, and also the determination that Caesar has already taken up at this time.]

If he dies, his best friend won't die; if he dies, all the people won't die; if he dies, the family of three he once watched from the pod will be able to live happily ever after.

He told Xia Zuo, "You will become the leader of mankind," but he didn't tell her that he would die in an unknown place, rot in the wilderness, and live forever in loneliness.

[11l: (vomits blood) (vomits blood) 10l What kind of knife-wielding person are you...! !]

[12l: I was in a trance after being hurt. 10l, are you asleep? I can't sleep.]

[13l: 10l, your imagination is incredible... Even if the subsequent development is off, I have a feeling that these two posts of yours will become the background settings for countless second creations. So good, woooooooooooooo.]

[14l: I'm going to write a fanfic right now. I'm going to find an OC who can save him! ! ! ! !]

…

[The latest episode has XP moving, is there anyone like me? "hot"]

I'm just saying, the more ruthless the warden is, the more excited I am, okay?! And the warden can be both sweet and savage. To put it in perspective, he can be a cool, arrogant, and sharp-tongued deskmate, a gentle and patient student council president who helps you save yourself, or the one who pulls at your leash...ah!

[1l: That's toxic, hahahaha. The last sentence of the OP has been censored. Hey, what did you say that you shouldn't have said? (tactical retreat)]

[2l: I understand the OP very well. Even Xia Zuo is becoming more and more attractive. Who can resist a dog that looks at you with a broken heart and pity, but is also very aggressive and fierce in protecting its owner?]

[3l: Reply to 2l, absolutely impossible to refuse]

[4l: As long as we have no conscience, we won't be stabbed...! Every stage of Xi Ze has its own merits! (wipes saliva)]

And the comic who saw this post will: "..."

It looked at the muted part repeatedly, then hesitantly asked the black-haired boy, "...You don't have a dog, do you?"

Cesar: “…”

The black-haired boy smiled slightly, "Dog, shedding hair. Trouble."

Comic Will: ...Damn, this reason is unexpectedly reasonable and irrefutable!

But it is true that the person under contract cannot survive in reality, so naturally he does not want to be responsible for the life and death of other lives. Otherwise, once he dies, it will be a huge blow to those who cherish his life.

The comic will (who has been brainwashed by the forum) is very moved by himself: "You are such a gentle person, Caesar!"

Cesar:?

…

Since you have decided to be an excellent tool, you naturally have to show up.

So the next day, he appeared in Xia Zuo's prison cell.

The prison cell, which was originally pitch black, slowly began to light up again.

The brown-haired boy was startled by the sudden appearance of someone in front of him, and his body subconsciously became alert, even making half of an attacking move.

The young man who suddenly appeared in front of her looked only slightly older than Ursula. He had a pair of mechanical blue-green eyes, a little bit of baby fat on his face, and short black hair that was soft and fluffy. He looked handsome and cute, but his face had no expression.

For some reason, Xia Zuo always felt that his appearance and expression looked familiar.

"Hello. Are you someone who has committed a crime and is imprisoned here?"

The boy spoke first. His voice did not sound like a human voice, yet it was infinitely similar to a human voice.

But why does the expression "the imprisoned person" sound a bit strange? Shouldn't "the imprisoned prisoner" be more appropriate?

...Maybe he's just too sensitive.

Xia Zuo did not answer the boy's question, but instead asked: "How did you get in? Can you use your talent? Who are you?"

He doesn't trust prisons very much now, after all, Caesar was almost killed.

The boy blinked: "How did you get in? It's very simple, just do this-"

He supported himself with one hand on the wall beside him, and his whole body melted into liquid metal from right to left in an instant, and perfectly merged into the contact surface between his hand and the wall. In just a blink of an eye, his figure appeared from behind Xia Zuo again. The series of movements were extremely smooth and silky.

Xia Zuo looked at him blankly: "...Is this your talent?"

The whole person turned into liquid metal or something...

He calmed himself down and said, "But you haven't told me who you are."

After all, this boy looks weird no matter how you look at him.

Hearing his words, the boy with mechanical blue-green eyes blinked again and tilted his head slightly.

Xia Zuo's heart skipped a beat, and he had an inexplicable bad feeling.

Then he heard the boy say innocently, "Who am I?"

"I'm not a human being at all."

Xia Zuo: "..."

Xia Zuo: "???"

You are not a human, are you a ghost...!

The author has something to say:

Xia Zuo: My dead fear of ghosts suddenly began to attack me
