Chapter 57 - The Rift of the Phantom World: Target of the World

Character Quotes — Fushimi Blade (Black God Blade)

"It's not that I'm resisting the rules; it's that this sword wants to cleave through the world itself."

[Act I: The Source of the Rift]

The otherworldly remnants of the Omega-07, the Phantom Rift Core, are stored at the bottom of the Black Realm.

After fighting against the "Rule Dislocator" many times, Fushimi Blade was officially allowed to touch the core and conduct "compatibility verification experiments."

However, when he took three steps closer, his mental indicators broke through the "human boundary safety value" three times in a row.

He laughed in a low voice:

"So the real limit is after this."

The staff was horrified to discover that Fushimi's consciousness was synchronizing with the "rift core" in an inexplicable way.

He wasn't analyzing the rift; he was listening to "fragments of logic" from another world.

[Act II — The World's Target]

That night, Fushimi practiced swordplay alone in the closed training ground of the Black Realm, fighting the fragments of the Phantom Realm.

He wasn't striking a pose.

He was drawing pictures with his sword, stroke by stroke, chopping down the remnant constructs in space.

Eventually, the sword marks intertwined into a single figure, resembling a broken target with a swirling center that swallowed the light.

He named it:

"Target of the World," a projection of all the world's "rule gaps."

He wrote the first note:

"When the rules form a logically closed loop, one's power exists only in the moment of 'hitting the bullseye.'"

But if the target itself is incomplete, can it be cleaved from 'outside the structure'?

Act III: Boundary-Breaking Sword Style

Fushimi begins reorganizing his sword style system.

He abandons the traditional structure of "start, finish, turn, merge."

He establishes the core of his theory:

"Strike one: Locate the world's breaking point."

"Strike two: Chop into the loopholes of the rules."

"Strike three: Replace the logic and rewrite the laws of its operation."

This isn't swordplay; it's a challenge to the fabric of the world.

He named it:

"Boundary Breaking Sword Stance - Type.X - Zero Rising Stance."

Yes, zero — an opening that represents his refusal to recognize any established rules.

[Act IV — Black Realm Turbulence]

The high command of the Experimental Observatory is shaken.

They discovered that Fushimi Blade was on the verge of being able to "independently analyze the rules." With further observation, he may constitute a "customized world model."

"With further observation, he may constitute a 'customized world model.'"

"He's not a cadet; he's an enemy-level tactical weapon."

Thus, the blockade directive was upgraded for the second time — code name: "Shearer."

It was executed by the "Dark Domain Execution Specialization Unit — Gray Belt Sequence."

[Epilogue: Sword Unsheathed]

Fushimi sat on the highest step of the Black Area, looking at the stabilizing "World Target."

He sighed.

"Dong Yun... I understand that you want to cultivate 'stabilizing battle power.'"

"But it's never the battle power that stabilizes; it's the sword blade within."

He stood up, unsheathing his sword. The sword style diagrams behind him emerged as cracks.

The bullseye of the world trembled slightly from his presence.
