My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

The amputee (with deep-seated habit): Using their hands grants them a certain degree of increased grip and finger strength, and their palms possess immense pushing power. 688

In just a few seconds, Weiss had grasped most of the characteristics of the one-armed man's abilities. 469

He couldn't help but feel speechless.

The description of the killing system's abilities in 064 is a bit too simplistic and crude, isn't it?

It could even be said that its very existence is clearly for the purpose of fighting and killing.

In contrast, his initial path as a wind addict would most likely be no match for ordinary soldiers wielding swords and shields...

After a moment of contemplation.

Weiss lowered his head and slowly looked at his right hand.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that a black hole had appeared out of nowhere in the center of his right palm.

The circular, deep, and dark hole had a smooth cross-section. It didn't look disgusting, nor was it a real hole that you could poke into. It was simply a visual illusion, like different layers overlapping.

Weiss tentatively clenched his palms.

In an instant.

"Splash—"

A sound.

Suddenly, an extremely strong whirlwind wrapped around his right palm, whooshing loudly, and actually condensed into a small, tangible spiral storm.

In contrast, no matter how hard he tried, his left hand could only manage to stir up a few faint wisps of wind.

The difference is obvious when the two are compared.

"Huh..."

"The efficiency of controlling the airflow with the right hand seems to have been greatly improved."

Weiss tried it several times, and a hint of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

He originally disliked Oliver's gestures and instructions in response to different moves.

Those kinds of subconscious exertion movements don't actually bring much real boost.

However, if Weiss were to use his right hand to manipulate the wind field now, it would indeed be several times faster than with his hands in his pockets.

"A rough estimate—"

"It's about eight times the intensity of the left hand."

Believe it or not, even though the one-armed one is only a 9th-order sequence.

Surprisingly, it was a perfect match for his climate specialist abilities.

After briefly testing the new sequence ability, Weiss calmly raised his head.

The pitch-black interface in front of me has quietly shrunk a bit.

It no longer completely blocked his view like it had before.

But it was still like a game announcement pop-up, blocking his peripheral vision in the corner.

And below that shrunk interface—

An additional button has appeared, formed by two crossed black halberds.

Next to the button were several lines of small, blood-red text:

—Kill Mode—

Once activated, you will see the locations of all superhumans who have enabled this mode, as well as a real-time kill leaderboard.

Ranking and reward settlement will be conducted at 24:00 at the end of each month.

Once activated, it must remain active for at least 10 hours before it can be deactivated.

"..."

"The one with the red name has arrived."

Seeing this, Weiss almost dreamt of his days in internet cafes, where he used to fight and battle with other players in the wild.

Activating this mode means that a bloodbath is about to begin, a fight to the death.

It's impossible that he was out of his mind to have started this model within the Selenes family.

That's a bit too rudimentary.

No matter how curious Weiss was, he would definitely have to be at least a thousand kilometers away from Moonlit City before he could open the gates and see how many extraordinary beings in the world possessed the feathers of the Caged Bird.

After all, once you accidentally open it, you can't close it for 10 hours...

"So--"

"Let's go back to sleep first."

After the afternoon's fierce battle and so much strengthening, Weiss was truly exhausted this time.

He yawned and lazily returned to Elune's bedroom.

The one-armed man is back! How majestic!

Elune muttered a slow, leisurely thought to herself.

In fact, secondary awakening is not a particularly remarkable secret among superhumans.

The real difficulty lies in—

Two sequences often conflict violently with each other.

The killing system, in particular, has a profound impact on the personality and temperament of its users.

If you're not careful, you might go astray or become blinded by the reward of killing, which could very well make it impossible to make any progress in the main sequence.

As long as you keep killing, you can ignore all bottlenecks.

Isn't this way much more satisfying than the other three systems' advancement methods?

This effect is most severe on those extraordinary individuals in the natural system who can advance through comprehension.

After all, nature values peace and calm, while killing pursues bloodlust and madness.

The two are inherently incompatible.

but--

Elune wasn't too worried about Weiss's situation.

Anyway, this guy is carefree and thick-skinned, so the impact probably won't be too great.

Unless one day, the one-armed man surpasses the climate master in rank.

Then it's hard to say...

Elune silently added a sentence in her mind.

The next morning.

Weiss had just come downstairs.

He saw Aunt Bai flipping through a newspaper, staring at him with an incredibly strange expression, as if she were looking at a fake person.

Weston was somewhat baffled.

"Aunt Bai, what's wrong?"

He peeked at Aunt Bai from behind with a suspicious look, then froze on the spot, dumbfounded.

The front page of the newspaper prominently featured—

Latest battle report from Diana, the Moonlit Thunder Emperor!

To summarize the entire article in one simple sentence:

Just five minutes after the Sun Princess of Archer Palace, one of the Ten Kings, fired an eclipse arrow at Moonlit City, the Divine Court's main palace, suspended 1500 kilometers above the clouds, was directly shot down by the enemy.

At the end of this report, there were two lines of bold text.

The straight-line distance between Moonlit City and that palace is at least 1.5 kilometers.

—It has been confirmed that the Moonlit Thunder Emperor is a Tier 5 Flash!

Even more outrageous is the signature.

This report is not some trivial tabloid from Moonlit City making things up.

It was an official announcement issued by the Night Patrol Headquarters.

In other words, every town with a night patrol department received this notice immediately.

"..."

Weiss remained silent for a long time, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

No, I clearly just deflected that arrow...

At most, the wind ring's circulation gave the arrow a slight boost in speed.

How could it be shot down from tens of thousands of kilometers away from someone else's base?!

Even Visor himself doesn't believe in the power of the Moon Emperor.

but......

If even the Night Patrol Headquarters confirms the authenticity of this achievement—

Could it be...?

"Now I can—"

"A planet exploded!?"

Under Aunt Bai's incredulous gaze.

Weiss was probably indulging in some smug fantasy, grinning mischievously with a rather pleased expression. Anyone who didn't know better would think his combat power had reached 53.

It took him a long time to calm down before he turned and went to Adele's study.

Weiss intended to review the detailed extraordinary records regarding the One-Armed Sequence.

Adele's study was filled with books, not a single one of which was a collection of historical documents and materials, so it didn't take much effort for Weiss to find the entry related to the one-armed man.

However, after he casually flipped through a few pages...

His expression immediately turned strange.

Those in the amputee category will experience an even more terrifying boost to the abilities of their dominant arm if they sever their other arm.

Weston was speechless for a moment.

"Yang is here."

"Don't actually turn me into a green-haired turtle..."

Weiss silently muttered a couple of complaints to himself.

He certainly wasn't that crazy.

It's impossible to cut off your other arm for the sake of a mere sub-sequence promotion.

I feel like Shanks from One Piece would be quite suitable for this role...

While lost in thought, Weiss continued scrolling down and soon came across information about the advanced techniques of the one-armed individuals.
