After testing his own strength, Leo left the basement and returned to his room.
"Balance Breaker...?"
Lying on the bed, Leo began to seriously think about Balance Breaker.
The conditions for achieving Balance Breaker have always been very clear, and are even recorded in the book in Leo's home study.
Because the driving force of Sacred Gear is thought, when the Sacred Gear holder's thoughts or wishes undergo drastic changes and are strong enough to defy the flow of the world, Sacred Gear will reach the realm of Balance Breaker.
Sacred Gear User that can fully use Sacred Gear has the foundation to reach Balance Breaker. As long as the spirit undergoes major changes due to certain things, the various emotions such as happiness, sadness, joy, sadness, fear, etc. generated by such drastic changes will be turned into motivation, allowing Sacred Gear to change into other things according to the user's consciousness, thus exerting more powerful power.
This is Balance Breaker, the forbidden power that destroys the balance of the world. It is basically the same thing as the swastika in a certain migrant worker comic next door.
"The conditions are quite clear, but how to achieve them?"
An idea powerful enough to defy the flow that pervades the world?
How could I have such an idea?
"It would be difficult to just rely on practice. In the original book, there are not many Sacred Gear Users who reached the level of Balance Breakers through hard work."
Because it is just exercise, no matter how hard you try, it will be difficult to bring about drastic changes in your own spirit. On the contrary, it is easier to achieve it in a desperate battle to the death, especially for those who have unyielding obsessions and wishes. The more they face a life and death crisis, the more powerful their will will be. By then, it is possible to reach the realm of Balance Breaker.
"Furthermore, even if we can achieve Balance Breaker, we still have to think about what kind of Balance Breaker we should achieve."
Every Sacred Gear has a Balance Breaker, just like every Zanpakuto can be swastika-kai, the only difference lies in whether the holder can master it.
However, the Balance Breaker of Sacred Gear is not fixed, or can be changed, so in addition to the normal Balance Breaker transformation of Sacred Gear, there is also a subspecies form of Balance Breaker, which is the so-called Subspecies Balance Breaker.
According to the original work, the Balance Breaker ization of Sacred Gear can be roughly divided into three types.
1. Sublimation Aspect which has been enhanced on the original abilities of Sacred Gear.
Second, pursue what you and Sacred Gear should look like to the point of madness, and let yourself and Sacred Gear blend together to present the Abyssal Aspect.
Third, External Aspect cannot be classified into the first two and causes mutation due to special reasons.
Most Balance Breaker are in the first case, the second case is relatively rare, and the third case is the least.
White Dragon Emperor in the original work is the second type of Balance Breaker, while Red Dragon Emperor is more of the third type of Balance Breaker. It can only be said that he is worthy of being the protagonist of the original work. Let's not say whether he is strong or not, but in terms of specialness, he is definitely the most special one.
"What about Balance Breaker of "Zenith Tempest"?"
Leo began to recall the plot of the original work.
"Zenith Tempest" in the original work is the strongest exorcist in the church, Sacred Gear held by Du Leo Gesualdo. After being transformed into Balance Breaker, he can release countless soap bubbles to wrap people up, and then in Various natural forces are released from the soap bubbles, such as fierce Fire Dragon rolls, fierce gusts of wind that can tear apart the flesh, cold air that freezes everything, lightning as powerful as the wrath of God, etc. It is a powerful ability that can make multiple targets accept genuine divine punishment and can change the weather of a country.
But this is not the original Balance Breaker of "Zenith Tempest", but the Subspecies Balance Breaker developed by Du Leo Gesualdo, whose name is [Flagello di Colori del Arcobale (Flagello di Colori del Arcoble), Speranza di Briscola (Speranza di Briscola)].
"This Balance Breaker ability feels a bit similar to my senior's Sacred Gear ability..."
Leo scratched his hair.
Utaha Kasumigaoka's Sacred Gear is a barrier that can carry out various attacks. It is really similar to Balance Breaker's ability to wrap the enemy in a soap bubble and accept the divine attack.
Of course, the strength of the two is definitely not at the same level. At least Utaha Kasumigaoka, even if it reaches Balance Breaker, may not be able to perform a powerful attack at the level of divine punishment inside the barrier, let alone change the weather of a country.
Longinus is Longinus after all. There is a clear gap between it and the ordinary Sacred Gear. Its power is far superior to the latter, let alone "" Zenith Tempest" is still the second-ranked Top-tier Longinus, which is completely different from the ordinary Longinus, let alone the ordinary Sacred Gear.
But it's not necessarily true. Sacred Gear is a power that will continue to evolve after all. What if one day Utaha Kasumigaoka uses its own ability to evolve its own Sacred Gear to the Longinus level?
This is not impossible.
You know, at the beginning, there were not as many as thirteen kinds of Longinus.
Some Longinus did not have Human World at the beginning and were unknown to the public, while some Longinus evolved later and gained the power to destroy gods and demon kings.
In the future, the world's major forces will observe five new Longinus Human World. By then, the number of Longinus will increase from thirteen to eighteen, and there will even be Artificial Longinus Human World, which will almost destroy the balance of all forces.
But that is also a matter for the future, and has little to do with Leo.
Even if Longinus and Artificial Longinus will appear in the future, his "Zenith Tempest" will still secure its position as the second strongest player in the world, so he is not worried at all.
Now, finding a way to reach Balance Breaker is more important.
"This is really difficult..."
Leo found that it was not easy to reach the Balance Breaker realm.
Because he has neither a strong obsession nor an ideal or wish that he wants to achieve. Although he is preparing for the chaos that will come sooner or later in the future and pursuing power without stopping, he is not particularly paranoid. He even has the idea that if he does not have the ability to intervene in those big events in the future, he will just lie down and live freely in Chiba.
This kind of indifferent attitude is undoubtedly very undesirable for Sacred Gear Balance Breaker who need a strong spirit or idea as motivation to reach the goal.
Looking at the original work, none of those Sacred Gear User who can reach the Balance Breaker realm are like this. Even those who seem to be unreliable and careless must have some kind of obsession or desire in their hearts, so that it is possible to reach the Balance Breaker realm.
To sum up, reaching the Balance Breaker realm may be an unexpectedly difficult thing for Leo.
"... I have to find a way for myself."
The next day, everyone was gathering for breakfast in the manor's restaurant.
Leo is sitting at the head of the extended dining table, with a sumptuous breakfast in front of him. On the left are Yukino Yukinoshita and Asuna Yuuki, and only Utaha Kasumigaoka is sitting behind him.
Perhaps because of their background, everyone basically abides by the rule of eating without talking or sleeping while eating. Including Leo, everyone eats and looks very elegant, fully demonstrating what table manners are.
Only Utaha Kasumigaoka sat there and didn't eat much at all. Instead, he yawned one after another, looking very sleepy.
"Damn it, why are you so sleepy and weak?" Utaha Kasumigaoka was lying facelessly on the dining table, his beautiful body squeezing the tabletop, making it a little flat, and he said feebly, "You obviously didn't feel tired no matter how hard you worked last night, and your whole body was full of strength. Why did you become like this in the morning?"
This feeling, compared with last night, is like a different day and night, which makes Utaha Kasumigaoka very uncomfortable.
"So didn't you say that? Devil is a creature that is active at night!" Leo glanced at Utaha Kasumigaoka like this and yawned as well, saying, "This is not something that you can't get used to. Just stick with it for a while. It will get better after you get used to it."
"Here you go, senior." Asuna Yuuki made a cup of hot tea for Utaha Kasumigaoka and said, "Drink some tea to relieve your difficulties."
Utaha Kasumigaoka thanked him politely, picked up the black tea, and sipped it in small sips, but he still had no energy.
"Why don't you look like you haven't had enough sleep?" Yukino Yukinoshita noticed the abnormality of Leo and said with a frown, "I remember you didn't stay in the basement for too long last night, right?"
"Well, I didn't bother much last night and went back to the room early." Leo rubbed his eyes and said lazily, "But because I thought about things too seriously, I ended up staying up very late."
"Please pay attention to rest, Mr. Leo." Asuna Yuuki gave thoughtful suggestions while asking with some confusion, "What are you thinking about so seriously?"
"How should I say it?" Leo thought for a while and replied, "I'm thinking about how a person like me can make a strong change in his state of mind."
Yukino Yukinoshita, Asuna Yuuki, and Utaha Kasumigaoka were all startled.
"What is this question?" Yukino Yukinoshita said expressionlessly, "Are you doing a life study?"
"Why should there be a strong change in the state of mind?" Utaha Kasumigaoka tilted his head and said, "Devil-kun are you dissatisfied with your current situation?"
"Doesn't it count?" Leo saw that everyone didn't understand and didn't intend to explain it too clearly. He said casually, "I just think it is necessary to do this. You will understand in the future."
Whether it is Sacred Gear User, Yukino Yukinoshita, or Utaha Kasumigaoka, they will definitely encounter this level in the future and overcome it.
"Um... do you want to ask Miss Musashi?"
Asuna Yuuki said hesitantly.
Miyamoto Musashi is different from others in that he does not have to go to school during the day, so he follows the life pattern of Devil, which is to sleep during the day and be active at night. He is still lying on the bed in his room and sleeping soundly, and he will probably not appear until the evening.
"Please tell me..."
Leo did not deny Asuna Yuuki's statement, and moved his fingers little by little on the tabletop.
"Perhaps we can find a way to find someone to ask for advice?"
Leo reminds me of a guy who studied Sacred Gear very deeply.
Do you want to find a way to get in touch with the other person?
It feels a little dangerous...
