I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Chapter 834: The Cost of Underestimation

It had become effortless for Northern to perceive the true essence of one's soul. Over time, a semblance of Chaos Eyes' ability had rubbed off on his mundane sight as well.

So, while it wasn't as clear as when he activated Chaos Eyes, he could still discern a person's intent to a reasonable extent.

He could see the truth, the lies, and the foolishness of mankind. Some of these emotions were too convoluted, tangled into a mess he couldn't quite navigate—like that of the girl he had just fought.

But others were as clear as the midday sky.

From the moment the red-haired boy spoke, Northern saw something lurking in the depths of his soul. It wasn't exactly a lie, but it wasn't a truth either.

And the more the boy spoke, the more that thing spiraled into a strange, creeping darkness.

Then came the suggestion—to use his weakest ability. Northern watched as that darkness settled, curling into a comfortable stillness.

The boy was convinced. Through subtle manipulations, he believed he had steered Northern into making a rash decision.

Of course, there was no way he could predict Northern's exact choice of words or actions. Instead, he relied on the overwhelming confidence that someone of Northern's caliber would inevitably display.

And since Northern had coincidentally decided to lean into the persona of an overpowered character, everything seemed to unfold perfectly in the red-haired boy's favor.

At least, that's what it looked like.

The real problem—and the reason Northern pitied him—was that the so-called weakest talent he had chosen... there was no way the boy would be able to defend it.

It was a talent so absurdly cunning that even Void Force had struggled to defend against it.
