Although it was just a guess, what Sir Acto saw was most likely just one or several "most likely futures."
Just like a person with astigmatism sees countless double images, each one is a "possible future". The most clearly visible one among them is the "future" that he needs to deal with and avoid.
"Five seconds... or ten seconds later." Fleur's explanation interrupted Greenville's meditation: "The future he can foresee should only be this long. Kai kept repeating the same action, just to explore the opponent's foreseeability.
The ultimate length of the future."
"Does that make sense?" Greenwell's doubts deepened.
Even if he knows the principle of his opponent's ability, it may not be possible for Kai to win easily. Acto still has an absolute advantage, and he controls the [future].
"We'll find out after we watch." Fleur suppressed the anxiety in her heart. The half hour of the bet was almost over. If this continues, they will really have to pay a huge sum of money to the cunning old man. If Kai really has
Just use the method to crack it as soon as possible!
But her husband still continued his combo unhurriedly. It was still a vertical slash, a sweep, a diagonal slash, a backhand sweep, and then a backhand slash. This set of combos was extremely gorgeous and eye-catching.
After watching too much, I can’t help but feel a little bored.
However, just this time, when Kai was retracting his move, he suddenly charged forward and hit his opponent with an impact from his left shoulder!
Shocked by this sudden turn of events, Acto swung his sword and stabbed out, the tip of the sword was about to pierce Kai's arm!
"Oops!" Even the old man himself exclaimed.
However, Kai shrank and his body suddenly shrunk. The lightsaber passed over his head and did not cause any damage to the red-haired knight. Kai, who had shrunk by half, continued to ram into his opponent and was about to hit him.
Acto's lower abdomen is broken!
Sir Actor jumped back and avoided Kai's attack: "What a danger! You kid can also cheat!"
"Hey," Kai returned to his original shape, "Why didn't you see what I did with your ability to foresee the future?"
As Kai guessed, there was a limit to the future that Sir Acto could predict. The moment he attacked, Acto used his ability to predict Kai's actions for a few seconds.
But as Kai's attacks continued to become more continuous and monotonous, this kind of future preview began to suffer from reaction fatigue.
In the end, what the old man encountered was a set of continuous and infinite looping actions, but he did not see the subsequent changes in this set of actions.
"You actually secretly learned [Shrinking Technique] from me." The female giant looked at the timer and said, "Kay, there are five minutes left, let's fight quickly!"
"Got it!" The red-haired knight replied while waving the double-edged gun repeatedly, still attacking his opponent with the same combo!
"It's really annoying!" The old man's drunkenness disappeared completely, and he began to concentrate on dodging Kai's attacks.
Vertical chop, sweep, diagonal chop, backhand sweep, and then a backhand slash. It is still a combo that is both gorgeous and silent.
Or not?
Even Greenwell noticed that the combos started to show subtle changes. It was clearly a vertical slash, but the rhythm of the slashes was different every time. It was clearly a sweep, but the angle and extended distance of the attack were slightly different.
.
Humans are not machines, and these subtle differences are actually normal. The problem is that Kai, who has used the same combo thousands of times and is already very familiar with this set of attacks, can actually keep changing his moves without any problems at all.
Be confused by your own past experiences.
"The ever-changing future cannot be predicted because it is uncertain." --- Kai's actions just confirmed what Fleur said before.
Sir Actor, who relied on foreseeing the future to dodge attacks, was gradually confused by Kai's unpredictable attacks, and it became increasingly difficult to dodge.
How many times did he inadvertently make imperfect dodges? Although he did not suffer any injuries, his clothes and armor were frequently scorched and scratched by the tip of Kai's spear.
Even so, Kai still didn't really hit Sir Actor. The old man's dodge ability was really amazing.
"Three minutes!" Fleur reminded again. The time is getting less and less.
Kai ignored Fleur and continued to attack fiercely. His body wielded the heavy spear and kept slashing for nearly half an hour, but he didn't even take a breath, as if he didn't know he was tired.
Vertical slash, sweep, diagonal slash, backhand sweep, and then a backhand slash. There are countless subtle changes in a set of continuous attacks. Subtle but insignificant, it is just leaving some scratches on the opponent's armor, or burning the clothes.
It's just the degree of angle.
"One minute!" Fleur said anxiously.
Scratch, scratch, scratch! Kai had obviously sped up his tempo, but his set of combos was still the same. There was only the slightest error in the dozens of attacks he fired, and it seemed impossible to hit his opponent with them.
So realistic!
He dodged sideways, rolled and jumped. The old man still moved and evaded in a coquettish manner. His movements also accelerated as Kai's attack speed increased. As long as the two maintained a balance, there was no worry of being hit.
"Thirty seconds! Hurry up!" Fleur and Greenville shouted together.
Scratch, scratch, scratch! Kai's movements became even faster. After he got used to this set of attacks, his techniques became more and more skillful and fluent, and he completely eliminated redundant movements.
The wind was furious and the rage was like fire. His movements had already exceeded the limit of human reaction ability. In front of this terrifying meat slicer, the average person would have been chopped into pieces countless times!
However, Acto's dodge is equally skillful and fluent. His dodge also forms a set of "designated actions".
As soft as water and as elegant as wind. Like dancing, he dodges attacks with continuous and consistent steps, dancing gracefully with his opponent.
Sir Actor's body has become accustomed to Kai's set of combos through thousands of dodges, so much so that he reacts the same way to every opponent's move, forming a dodge action similar to a conditioned reflex.
This set of moves is so ingrained that whenever Kai attacks, Acto will do the same dodge!
"Five seconds!" Fleur looked a little desperate!
Kai still fired the same combo. Undoubtedly, the old man dodged it.
"Two seconds." Fleur could hardly stand it anymore. Kai lost this bet. It was a huge bet!
But, the time has come!!
Kai sneered. He had just finished the last combo and immediately launched the next combo at high speed.
Backhand slash, backhand sweep, diagonal slash, sweep, and then a vertical slash. Just like a movie played in reverse, Kai deliberately hit the previous attack backwards, completing it in one second!
Cleverly deceived by this sudden and wonderful attack, Sir Actor's body involuntarily repeated the original set of dodge movements.
Just when he realized that this was a trap, it was already too late! The last slash of Kai's combo fell diagonally, leaving a small gash in the old man's left shoulder!
"Time's up!" Fleur also completed the countdown.
"Uh-huh..." Acto covered his injured shoulder and took a few steps back, "Very good, kid. You can use your brain a little bit."
"Ha, ha, ha, ha." After Kai hit the last blow, his body was exhausted, and he was lying on the ground panting: "What, how about it, old guy? I finally hit you!"
?"
It's a stupid method, but it works.---No matter how clumsy it is, just achieve the goal. This is Kai's consistent code of conduct.
"Dad, the reason for your failure is actually very simple - you care too much about [the future]." Kai panted but still did not forget to teach his father, "The future is not inevitable. The future can be changed.
.What [fate], what [inevitability], everything you said is actually baseless. With a little effort, even people like me can change the future. What you said is [inevitable fate]
]What is it?"
Acto remained silent.
"No matter how cruel the fate of the world is, no matter how unreasonable it is, Arthur will definitely change it for you." Kai whispered, "I believe in him. I believe in the [miracle] he has."
The old man was silent for a while. After a long time, he finally spoke: "Very good. Even if you win."
"Then," Greenville stepped forward and took out the Chaos Ruby: "Can we take this thing away?"
"Yes, take it away." Acto murmured, making a complicated expression like "I've warned you anyway", "Take that thing to Arthur. ----- But, don't regret it.
.When you give it to Arthur, you are awakening a demon,
[The Demon of Possibility].
It will break the rules, break free from the shackles of fate, and do whatever it wants. The fate of this world will no longer flow according to the original rules. It will change, distort, and derive countless unpredictable futures.
---Whether such a future is a blessing or a curse, only God knows. You can only pray that things will not develop in a bad direction."
"...Is the power of this gem so terrifying?" Greenville snorted.
Holding the gem tightly, she could vaguely feel the faint energy stirring inside it. But could this gem change the world and distort destiny? It would be too much to say that.
"The real horror is not this gem, but the sealed soul in Arthur's body." The old man gave an intriguing and sinister smile, "Hey, forget it. Let you take a risk. Anyway, if this continues, the world
Sooner or later it will be destroyed.
---Just like the 1.12 billion and 964 cycles, no matter how you change, you cannot avoid destruction, and you can only continue to cycle.
Perhaps by adding more [chaos] as variables, this world can derive a new future - a future that allows us to survive."
When the old man said these incomprehensible and irrelevant words, Greenwell subconsciously held Ruby tightly. She only felt her scalp numb, and some kind of strange and indescribable fear spread in her heart.
She took a breath and tried her best to put this uneasiness behind her, and then shrugged pretending to be disapproving: "Whatever. I'm going back to Brindisi. I need to give this to Arthur as soon as possible."
"You, let's go." Kai was still exhausted. The fierce battle just now had exhausted all his energy: "I just need to lie down for a while."
"If you're a man, don't be such a coward!" Fleur carried her husband, "Miss Greenville, you go back first. I'll send this guy to the hotel and settle him down, and I'll help."
"You're the one who really needs to settle down." Kai looked at Fleur's belly worriedly.
Greenville looked at the flirting couple and couldn't help but chuckle with envy.
