001 grew somewhat impatient. "Hmph, since he's a loser, what use is there in keeping him alive? Just kill him."
After thinking it over carefully, he decided that killing him would be better than keeping him alive.
At that moment, contestant 001 stepped forward. "He's only a Purple Robe, and not particularly strong. What harm is there in keeping him? Powers involving the future really are incredibly rare!"
"I'd like to meet this fellow. Perhaps we could even obtain some abilities from him."
Greed shone in his eyes. Clearly, he was extremely interested in this ability.
"With my talent, if I could absorb his talent, heh heh, who in all of chaos could still stand against me?"
But attendant 001 thought otherwise. "In my experience, all abilities that can foresee the future carry an extremely powerful backlash."
"If you don't want to die a miserable death in the end, I advise you not to absorb an ability like that."
"Everyone has a different future, and those futures change at every moment. The instant you foresee the future, that future is no longer the future. Your future lies solely in your own choices."
"You think you've taken the best possible path, but it might actually be the worst path in the world."
Contestant 001 remained unconvinced. "That's all far too mystical. I only believe in facts."
"Let's take a look at this fellow before we decide."
Soon, the group of contestants met the Purple-Robed General, Kandal.
Though he stood there, he exuded wave after wave of deathly energy like a corpse, as though he were about to die.
Yet his vitality was clearly still abundant. That vitality intertwined with the deathly energy, making him seem exceedingly uncanny.
"If he really can foresee the future, how did he end up like this?"
