Infinite World: Random Characters, Start with Red Archer

[It's not possible to strengthen him indefinitely. Aside from certain characters, there's always a limit to how much he can be improved. Jonathan Joestar is already nearing his maximum potential, and it's not recommended to continue investing resources in him.]

This shattered his illusions, and the black ball was quite impolite.

"I understand. These two special enhancements are equivalent to exhausting Big Joe's potential."

"The rest is simply developing mental power or a Stand."

There was no disappointment or regret; Han Ming was already quite satisfied with the current situation.

If you truly wish to push your limits, you can try fusing with other character cards. Successful fusion will unlock new possibilities depending on the combination of the two cards.

"Bull Demon, you think I'm going to fuse these few cards? Are you out of your mind?"

"No matter how you look at it, there doesn't seem to be a suitable fusion partner for Da Qiao..."

Unmoved by the black ball's encouragement, Han Ming contentedly withdrew.

He doesn't need to frantically pursue stronger character cards now.

Fusion cards can reach a very high potential, but there are risks involved.

Given the current situation, Diablo, Josuke, and Archer might also undergo dramatic changes, so why create unnecessary complications?

"Da Qiao is fine."

"Next, let's look at Josuke's..."

King and Da Qiao both reversed their original status due to being strengthened, so Han Ming is now extremely looking forward to seeing what new changes will occur in Josuke, Diablo, and Archer.

The black ball also appropriately presented those options.

Growth Change (C→A)

[Physical body and Stand synchronization (grants the user all Stand stats except "Growth")]

[Mental Strength Enhancement (Significantly increases Stand stats except for Growth Potential)]

[The repair ability is effective on oneself]

"......"

Seeing these enhancement options, Han Ming really suffered from decision paralysis.

Either one would be extremely useful to Josuke Higashikata.

Growth potential is practically a "golden" asset in the world of Stands.

This means that there is still a lot of potential to be explored in Stands.

The rumored Star Platinum is also a powerful Stand of the 5A level, and its genuine "A" growth potential is no joke.

Crazy Diamond is perhaps because Josuke has become so proficient at it that there are no more variations.

But if the growth potential is indeed adjusted to a new level, does that mean there can be other improvements?

To put it bluntly, if you want a high ceiling, then you definitely can't let this opportunity pass you by.

Without much thought, he immediately selected the first option.

A Wise Choice

Black Ball praised Han Ming for making the difficult decision so quickly.

"I'm starting to suspect you did it on purpose."

"I really have nothing to say about this, the rewards are almost frighteningly good."

His hands were still trembling slightly as he looked at the black ball and said.

If I hadn't gone through so much before, I would have thought I was dreaming.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his breathing, Han Ming turned to look at the remaining three options.

You can also choose one from them...

If the first option is growth potential, then filtering from the remaining options is not an easy task.

The body and the stunt double are synchronized; this is definitely a supermodel thing.

Often, the Stand user himself is like a glass cannon; if someone touches him, he will die.

Even though a stand-in can protect you, such opportunities are not always available.

If the person possesses the power and speed of a Stand, that would be incredible.

This item offers excellent value for money.

Mental strength enhancement tends to compensate for the stats of Crazy Diamond.

It's quite a suitable one...

The final repair process further strengthens the original mechanism, making users safer.

A Mad Diamond that can save its own life is basically immortal.

"Can I select all the ads?"

He paced back and forth, troubled, and couldn't help but ask the black ball a question.

【...】

But the black ball responded with silence, as if it hadn't heard anything.

"Sigh, we really can't expect too much good news in this area."

"Oh, right..."

Do you have any recommendations for the second option?

He sighed and was about to continue thinking when he suddenly remembered something and quickly spoke to the black ball again.

If this thing is alive, wouldn't that be something we could use?

Although it is unclear what the black ball is, its behavior does not seem to harm our interests.

So he decided to try and see if he could get information out of her in this way.

[After careful selection, synchronizing the physical body and the Stand is the most suitable option. Due to the nature of growth, there's no need to focus solely on mental enhancement at this stage. The ability to repair oneself can protect oneself at any time, but it doesn't actually increase combat power.]

They gave some very good advice, and Han Ming thought it made sense.

Unless you aim for mental enhancement and synchronization from the very beginning, you'll always lose one of these two.

After he chose growth potential, what he needed was not temporary combat power, but enhancements that could maximize synergy.

From this perspective, synchronizing with the Stand is the optimal solution.

It's suitable for excelling in every aspect...

It adapts to the host body and can also drive the host body's growth in the future...

"The guy with the thick eyebrows and big eyes hasn't screwed me over yet...not bad!"

After selecting Josuke, Han Ming then took out the newly acquired Diablo card.

(If Josuke is this good, Diablo shouldn't be too bad.)

Just as he was thinking this, he came across three interesting options.

[The deletion time has been extended to 20 seconds]

[Enhanced predictive power of epitaphs (allowing for a clearer capture of the process and outcome)]

[Panel Enhancement (excluding growth potential)]

"Yes, it's simple and straightforward, I don't need to worry about it anymore."

Without pausing, Han Ming directly selected "delete" and "epitaph".

These two are the core mechanisms that make Crimson King the most important.

So don't worry about the panel for now, just focus on maxing out the mechanics first!

"Alright, only Emiya is left."

"Let me see what Red P can produce..."

29. Deviations in route and team composition? (4K)

The enhancement options for Josuke, Diablo, Ootengu, and King have all been finalized; all that remains is the initial card he received.

emiya

The black ball provides enhancement options, but this time it's clearly different from the first time.

[Projection Enhancement (Projected objects no longer lose quality and are instead upgraded by one level)]

[Spirit Origin Enhancement (Increases various attributes)]

【Noble Phantasm Combination (Can combine different Noble Phantasms, fusing their effects or grafting them onto another)】

[Double Projection (Each time a projection is performed, an additional identical Noble Phantasm will be generated without any cost)]

[Mugen Blade Works O Divine Word (The incantation during release is accelerated)]

[Infinite Blade Works O. Weaponry (Automatically generates and stores one analyzed Noble Phantasm of rank A or below every 1 minute; effective even when not activated)]

[Infinite Blade Works - Resistance (Enhances the defensive capabilities of the Reality Marble, making it more stable)]

[Infinite Blade Works: God's Creation (Can project God's Creation weapons within a Reality Marble, and only consumes half mana when projecting analyzed God's Creation weapons)]

【Origin MAX (Grants the user a random amount of weapon essence between 4 and 6)】

A dazzling array of enhancement options filled the field of vision.

Although I expected Red A to have great potential, I didn't expect him to be this terrifying.

Just seeing the first "projection boost" is already very exciting.

Emiya Shirou's projection magic was already jokingly said to have the potential to reverse a power meter, so this option is even more amazing.

"Not only did it not decrease, but it actually increased by one level. So the question is, how is this increase calculated?"

It's not that Han Ming would care so much, but rather that every little improvement to Red A needs to be meticulously crafted.

This character has great potential... If properly developed, he could become a versatile and versatile character.

[Based on the intensity of the projection, an initially C-rank Noble Phantasm will become B-rank, and a B-rank will become A-rank. Only under specific conditions with sufficient magical energy infusion will it evolve into a level suitable for "+", "++", or "EX".]

"I understand. In other words, if I had a B-rank Noble Phantasm, I would have to spend ten points of mana to project it. Now, I can spend five points or even less to project it to a C-rank to achieve the same level as the original. If I want to make it stronger in terms of effect and power, I can also invest more mana to enhance it."

【correct】

"Then what are you waiting for? I'll take it."

Han Ming understood quickly and asked for the projection amplification without saying a word.

Without the Infinite Blade Works, he is now relying entirely on projection as his means of output. In that case, is there anything more practical than that?

It reduces mana consumption and allows for unconditional upgrades to Noble Phantasm levels...

This is already considered "creating something out of nothing".

I've even thought about using a bunch of B-rank Noble Phantasms to mindlessly upgrade them to A-rank and use them as "bombs," and just that alone makes me eager to try it out.

"Wow, there's a lot of good stuff in the back."

Leaving aside fundamental things like Spirit Origin Enhancement, "Noble Phantasm Assembly" and "Double Projection" are incredibly powerful techniques.

The former can be played in all sorts of ways, while the latter can mindlessly extract "quantity".

"Damn it, are you doing this on purpose? I don't even know Infinite Blade, and I'm left with all these enhancement options to look at!"

Looking at those four things related to Mugen Sword Style, Han Ming was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to dust.

[Divine Words] can speed up the release of chants, and in battle, it may be possible to open the innate barrier in an instant.

[Weapons] are essentially a storage depot during rest periods, automatically producing 1440 weapons in 24 hours a day. To exaggerate a bit, all of these weapons can be considered A-rank Noble Phantasms.

The "resistance" part is self-explanatory; it's clearly for reinforcing the defensive surface to prevent the barrier from being broken.

【God-made】is also heaven-defying, breaking the limitations of God-made and reducing mana consumption by half, which can make the upper limit frighteningly high.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted by these enhancements.

The problem is...
