Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"Exa. Please work with the {Fates}. I want a degraded version of {Limitless}. For requirements. Its name and activation keywords must be different. I want the ability to detect who has it.

Finally, I want a lethal kill switch along with the Seal of Seven."

[I understand, my lord. According to them, the kill switch will only work on Reapers below a Revenant. Would that be fine?]

"That is fine, I doubt any of the Revenants would need it anyway. Can you tell me how they plan to actually kill a Reaper?"

The girls all listened intently as Exa and I discussed.

[Yes, my lord, it will be a combined effort of all seven {Fates}. It will be a three-step process. First, {Perceive} and {Listen} will disable the reapers' sight and hearing. During this time, {Eat} will also drain the Reaper's stamina to near death to incapacitate the Reaper. For added safety, {Listen} would also use {Announce} to order the said Reaper not to move.]

That would be terrifying if it happened to me. Your sight and hearing would cease to function as you collapsed from exhaustion. Disoriented and unable to move, you would be dead before you could figure out that it was my {Kismet}.

[Second, {Code} will convert the stamina into heat energy with {Calculate}. She will then give the heat to {Withstand}, who will use it to create a {Shelter} blade loaded with a fully powered {Counter}. {Carry} would further strengthen this attack with {Crush}.]

Well, shit. So it's possible for the {Fates} to work like this? And people still doubted what I was saying? How could you keep telling me that they had no ego? They were as meticulous as psychopathic serial killers.

But if even the {Fates} of my battle harem were sentient, then why were their egos different from the girls'? Was it like {Rewind} and me? But what about soulgear like {Day by Day}? Why are there two egos when there should be only one?

[The third and final step will be the killing bow itself. {Store} will link the {Fates} to the Reaper's Soulgem. To ensure that the strike will be fatal. {Perceive} will use {Aim}, while {Eat} will use {Gather} and {Carve}. Once the attack lands, the Reaper's chance of surviving or even knowing what happened would be 0%.]

"How long do all three steps take? It sounds pretty complex."

[3 milliseconds].

"3 milliseconds?"

There were 1000 milliseconds in a single second. Even Bob Munden the world title holder for "Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived" needed at 208 milliseconds for his fastest quick draw. The same one that won him a Guiness world record. And this fucking thing was so fast it was in the single digits.

[My lord. To put it in perspective, a normal human's heart beats in 1 second. The kill switch could arm and fire 333 times before a human's heart can beat a second time].

"..."

Terror and fear crawled up my spine. I thought it would be like in the movies where you hear a beep or something. But this was real. Once I create this, the moment I give the command, I could make everyone with the kill switch will drop dead.

Their soulgems would shatter before they even hit the ground. It was truly like playing with life and death. However, it also meant that if someone evil or out of control had it, they would literally have no time to do anything. The chances of them hurting anyone would be zero.

I swallowed as I steeled my will. Even though I did not trust myself with this trigger, I wanted it. And even though I would be the one to pull the trigger, the Sirens would be the ones to remove the safety.

This thing was dangerous. It was effective, but the thought of using it was absolutely frightening.

The reason atomic bombs were feared was not because they were very big bombs. We already had those. They were feared because such a catastrophic result would happen with the push of a single button.

People, especially those raised in good homes, had a voice of conscience. Even those working as executioners had to wrestle with such feelings. In World War II, even the Nazis had to resort to gas chambers because their people couldn't handle the moral dilemma of shooting so many defenseless people. Read chapters at empire

Numbers had a way of marginalizing life. But at the same time, they were the best way to grasp an accurate assessment of scale. Right now, Hellsend was already over a thousand.

And one word, the Sirens and I could kill them all. If we gained more people, that number would grow as well. Just the thought of being able to commit such an atrocity made me terrified.

It was different to kill someone in battle, but killing even civilians was definitely a path I should not even consider. However, in order to protect my family in the future, I vowed not to take any chances.

My mind was in chaos as conflicting thoughts flowed inside my head. Such a responsibility was something I never wanted, but as the king who desired to move forward. I had to.

Dark thoughts enveloped my mind. As my pessimistic nature imagined the worst scenarios, I struggled to breathe. But then, suddenly, I felt a wave of peace wash over me.

My {Kindred} link, strangled by negative emotions, was suddenly healed by a rain of love and affection. Like finding water in the desert, I greedily drank the feelings from my harem. It calmed down.

When I looked up, I saw seven women looking at me with concern. I didn't even need to hear their words because their concern for me was already evident on their faces.

I gave them a smile to show them that I was okay. They all had relief on their faces, but still remained silent.

[My Lord, shall they begin? Although it will not hurt as much as {Limitless}. Please be prepared for some pain. They also say that the Sirens have to prepare as well.]

"Huh?" x7

[The Seal of Seven would require a soul imprint from each Siren. This would ensure that it would be unique to them. I would like to note that according to the {fates}, this request is only possible because of my lord, Limitless. My ladies, since this would be your first {Kismet}, please be prepared. It will hurt. A lot.

You may want to reconsider.]

"Thank you, Exa, but as Beloved's {Kindred}, I have sworn to die by his side. I am not afraid of pain. So long as it is for him, I will never falter."

"What else would you expect from the woman who created {Withstand}. Not like I am any different. Continue, Exa. I am Lilly Browning! {Kindred} of Limitless and one of the Seven Sirens! This is nothing!"

"Right now, the only thing I find painful is Possum's punishments. Hit me, Slagger! I ain't no cunt!"

"Darling, this would be our first {Kismet} together! I am so excited!"

"Exa, I have more suggestions I want to add. Can you include them? Or does Honey have to?"

[Either works lady Bella.]

"Exa, is it possible to combine this new version of {Limitless} with {Bestow}? Having both would give Hellsend more flexibility. Can they still use {Rewind} after they have it?"

[No, my lady Jasmine, they cannot. {Bestow} uses elements from {Rewind}. It cannot be combined with {Limitless}. You would have to use the previous workaround for the Sirens. Use the skill download feature of {Limitless} and then load {Bestow}.]

"Hmm. Since the {Kismet} is going to be degraded, we should use as few as possible. We also need to make it cost at most 3000 souls. Shujin. Just the level 3 {Fates} of everyone is enough. Our specialized squads will take care of the higher level applications."

I nodded in understanding as Exa accepted Aki's request.

"Well. All of you, tell me immediately if you can handle it, okay?"

"Yes." X7

"Exa, tell them to begin."

Picturing the abilities I wanted, I took a deep breath and began the {Kismet} creation process.

[{Kismet} creation will now begin. Please note that {Limitless} will be unavailable while this process is underway.]
