[C.G] Ch 153: Unlimited Potential

One Punch Man World
High above a vast, abandoned mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles—once home to thriving villages, now a ghost zone thanks to the growing frequency of monster attacks—two figures floated in mid-air, locked in a tense standoff.
No wind stirred. No beasts moved. Nothing existed for miles around... except a lone young man sitting at the edge of a cliff, casually cooking hot pot.
Even migrating birds instinctively veered off course the moment they got near the 100-mile radius surrounding the two combatants.
One feather drifted lazily off a turning bird's wing... only to be powdered into dust the moment it crossed the invisible threshold.
...
『Earth's Cancer』: ...
『Earth's Cancer』: I know Fubuki and her sister are going all-out right now, but still… I can't help but think...
『Catwoman』: …This looks kinda boring?
Still in Mary Geoise, sipping high-class booze and nibbling on rare delicacies from across the world—originally tributes to the Celestial Dragons, now left untouched after that whole "clean world" incident.
Selena couldn't help feeling a little bored—then her eyes drifted to the side.
Near the edge of the cliff, a pink-haired girl was sitting with Robin. The two of them were chatting softly, legs swinging over the edge like a couple of carefree kids.
『Earth's Cancer』: Fair point, this fight is probably like... an 18 out of 100.
『Ghost Spider』: +1
『Ordinary Human』: Yeah, battles between pure psychics like them… not exactly the most fun to watch, y'know?
『Ordinary Human』: Want me to add a little something? Like… a filter?
『Catwoman』: Oh? What kind of filter?
『Ordinary Human』: Well… Fubuki's already muted group notifications so we don't distract her and her sister. So, why don't you guys just hop into my livestream instead?
『Ordinary Human』: Veyron's Anime fight filter is online.
[System Notice: 'Ordinary Human' has opened a livestream]
『Lady Avalon』: Ohoho~
『Lady Avalon』: I mean, Villain-kun, you're sitting right next to them with a hot pot, so saying "let's not disturb them" feels a little ironic... but this filter?
『Lady Avalon』: 10/10.
Once they entered Veyron's stream, the difference was immediately obvious.
Twin beams of light—one red, one green—radiated from Tatsumaki and Fubuki, stretching out over the entire 100-mile dead zone. The screen was filled with endless streams of colored energy clashing, merging, exploding.
Every second, thousands of beams collided: some neutralized each other, some overwhelmed their foes and joined allied forces to launch a pincer attack on the remaining opposing light.
Thanks to Veyron's enhanced "filter," Merlin and others could clearly appreciate every detail of the psychic showdown—even without stepping foot into their world.
『Catwoman』: ...Damn.
『Catwoman』: So Fubuki has unlocked her fourth-tier Gene Lock, right? I remember hearing her talk with you, Mr. Veyron, before she left. She even merged that 'Light of Mind' thing with her psychic abilities. And that Stand of hers...
『Catwoman』: With all those buffs stacked up, she's only equal to her sister!?
The "filter" showed it clearly: the red light representing Fubuki's power was holding its ground not through her alone, but thanks to a human-shaped figure fighting beside her—a stand-like manifestation of herself that was constantly helping her.
If not for that stand, Fubuki would've already been overwhelmed by her sister's relentless barrage.
『Ordinary Human』: Yeah. That's why I told Fubuki before—I'm honestly curious what her sister could do if she unlocked the fourth Gene Lock too… and learned to control all her powers down to the microscopic level.
Right now, Tatsumaki's fighting evenly with Fubuki, who's using four locks, a stand, and a partially fused mental construct—while she's just wielding raw, self-trained psychic control. That's insane.
『Catwoman』: If you gave her those same buffs? Pfft. Game over.
『Ordinary Human』: No, she's not as absurd as that guy. But aside from him, when it comes to people—or monsters—on this planet? Tatsumaki's in a class of her own.
『Ghost Spider』: Huh?
『Snake Empress』: Wait, what? You're saying these two could literally vaporize everything within hundreds of miles with a single thought… and they're not the strongest!?
『Ordinary Human』: Nope. There's someone even more ridiculous.
Veyron casually shifted the camera to a side feed.
While the main view stayed on the psychic sisters' clash, the secondary screen zoomed in on a bald man strolling down a path.
He looked very pleased with himself, carrying a bag full of groceries, one of which still had the "Coupon -65%" sticker half-peeled.
『Ordinary Human』: Judging by the current scale of psychic power we're seeing... even both sisters combined might not be able to scratch his defense.
『Earth's Cancer』: !!!
『Catwoman』: That's insane.
『Ordinary Human』: Oh, it is insane. And what's crazier? His power just… keeps growing. Nonstop.
『Ghost Spider』: Wait—what does that even mean?
『Ordinary Human』: Okay, think of it this way. For an average person, walking is just… whatever, part of daily life.
『Ordinary Human』: But for someone who's been bedridden for years and had muscle atrophy? Walking becomes serious healing, right? You with me so far?
『Ordinary Human』: Now imagine this guy—he's able to gain actual strength just from doing things that normal people don't benefit from at all… like walking.
『Lady Avalon』: ...That's nuts.
『Earth's Cancer』: So you're telling me this man is cheating at life?! (Panda Slamming Table.jpg)
『Snake Empress』: Mr. Veyron, do you know how he does it?
『Ordinary Human』: Hang on. Let me check with the World Will.
Veyron let out a breath and synchronized with the world's consciousness. After a few moments, combining the scattered memories he'd retained from One Punch Man before crossing over, he finally responded.
『Ordinary Human』: It's the limiter.
『Ordinary Human』: Think of it like this—before world fusion, the maximum strength someone could reach in their original world might've been 100%. But after several fusions, that ceiling has risen to, say, 400%.
『Ordinary Human』: In this world, every living being has a built-in limiter that caps their growth. The more naturally talented you are—like Tatsumaki—the higher that limiter's cap.
『Ordinary Human』: That's why you sometimes see people go from "can't lift a bucket" to "levels an entire street" after turning into monsters. Their human limiter gets replaced with a much more generous monster limiter.
『Ordinary Human』: Normally, breaking a limiter just swaps it for a higher one. Like trading up to a stronger leash. But this guy? He broke through his limiter and never got a new one. He stayed human… but now has infinite potential for growth.
It was so absurd, it didn't even feel real.
Veyron pulled his senses back from the One Punch Man world. He glanced again at the two sisters locked in their psychic duel high above, mind swirling with one thought.
"Could I… maybe get that too?"
「Sorry. The ability to remove the limiter is a unique, unreplicable talent. You...」
「Wait a second…」
「You might actually be able to pull it off too」
"Wait, seriously?"
Veyron's excitement flared.
「Yes. You'd just need to undergo a continuous, three-year ritual to meet the requirements for limiter removal...」
「But if that sounds like too much trouble, we could make a deal.」
"SAY IT."
「You give someone the same kind of potential as Fubuki, and I'll let you skip the three-year grind.」
"…Give it to who? Saitama?"
Veyron frowned slightly. The idea of using his precious semen on another male just didn't sit right with him. It just felt… off.
It felt disgusting even to him—let alone the other guys.
Still, three years for unlimited potential? That was a hell of a trade.
Final judgment? Totally worth it.
「Not him.」
「I want you to give that kind of potential… to Fubuki's sister. Tatsumaki.」
