My "Fully Automatic Buff" Made My Friends the Strongest in the World - Vol. 2 Ch. 10

I mean, bro could win against the demon king by spamming "yo momma" joke until the demon king's aggro debuffed him to death.

 

[ThatNaiGuy]

Well I guess he's only really aware of how strong the debuff side of his skill is, even if it makes sense for the buffing side to be similarly powerful.

 

[arashikitsu]

Couldn't he just you know debuff the maou to the point where he can't even breath? Not sure how well "immortallity" would work when you are litterally crushed underneath your own weight and can't breath, or eat, or well do anything for that matter

Dude's probably immune (or stupidly resistant) to debuffs for exactly those reasons.

Could also be like that one isekai manga where the MC was cursed by an evil god to have "unchanging stats", but it effectively just made him immortal since his HP can't change and gave him basically infinite MP (provided the spells were below a certain cost, but then he could just compound them).

Thank you for the chapter!

What manga is that?

Pinging this so that I get a ping too.

When the party members have to kick the MC's ass just to get him to understand how OP his skill is...

Wish more kick-out-of-party stories does this...

"I am creating a team only of women and me."
".. you do realize they want to kill you in your sleep."
Yet more i heard about Ares yet more i am convinced he is a walking disaster to happen.

 

[ScryedParadox]

The MC is growing more and more stupid.

He knows how his skill works, he knows that it's literally just a matter of time until no matter how ferocious and unexpected an enemy is, that it literally dies from the debuff that constantly gets stacked on until their own body weakens to the point where it can no longer support itself and their magic become non-existent.

He literally explained in detail how his skill functions, knowing exactly what it does and how fearsome it is and how abnormal it is, and he still pulls the "Oh I dunno I'm so weak and scrawny and I can't do anything" card on top of the naive optimistic idiot to the point of lunacy card.

And he also pulls the herbivore dense harem protagonist card who will guard his virginity like losing it would mean the end of the world too while we're at it.

He is a hopeless idiot, made to be a stand-in for the dumbest, most foolish, most easily swindled guy to go into a power fantasy of oops I tripped into a dozen boobies and butts and they all thirst for my ween because I'm such a nice guy. It's an inconsistent power fantasy, which is what makes it the most irritating of thing.

I'm about to believe that even when he goes into the dream where Ares should be dreaming of raping the party members, that even if he lands there, he'll find some excuse to think that Ares is still a swell and powerful guy and he just needs some support. With the only upside being that maybe his auto-debuff will automatically activate by instinct and kill the Hero by accident then he'll mope around about oh noes I killed ze hero, I am ze monster. And gain zero actual positive character growth or brain activity formation.

Sounds like it's probably Level 1 Strongest Sage: [Cursed By The Evil God, Can Only Use the Lowest Magic, But Gains Infinite Magic Power by Misunderstanding, and be the Strongest]

 

[WarTails]

It's saying that the hero skill is just rare, that means they'll probably introduce another hero who will probably be a girl. I guess the current hero could undergo some character development to become decent, but I don't think that will happen at all.

God Dlad is a dumbass. He's one of the worst MC tropes.

He's probably trying extremely hard (in vain) to convince himself that Ares is a good person, so his skill won't automatically kill him. Basically, a wide-eyed idealist who's becoming aware that there are people in this world that are beyond saving and unfortunately for him, someone he considers a friend is one of them.

I agree with most of your points aside from this one. Specifically about guarding his virginity.
He went to a brothel to satisfy himself (chapter 5). That's in part why he didn't jump the elf projection in chapter 8 (because he was sexually satisfied not long ago). From the way he was thinking, I guess he used to use brothels for sex in the old continent as well.

... Thought some more, and this part, too.

He literally explained in detail how his skill functions, knowing exactly what it does and how fearsome it is and how abnormal it is, and he still pulls the "Oh I dunno I'm so weak and scrawny and I can't do anything" card on top of the naive optimistic idiot to the point of lunacy card.

I wonder how much he's aware of the buffing side of his skill. The debuffing is very apparent, but the buffs...
Maybe he assumed it depended from person to person?

He can't buff himself at all (so he really is weak and scrawny compared to the buffed up companions), so he has a fighting chance only when he's being actively targetted.
And he won't be able to debuff a foe that has no hostility targetted towards him, as explained with the runaway hobgoblin, that could OHKO him by accident (or the goblin hag, only after aggroing her was the debuff in effect). If an enemy knew about it, sending some AoE attack (not targetted towards him, but in a 'fuck this area in particular' way) in theory could kill him, or have a fight happen in the middle of a natural disaster.

He's probably trying extremely hard (in vain) to convince himself that Ares is a good person, so his skill won't automatically kill him. Basically, a wide-eyed idealist who's becoming aware that there are people in this world that are beyond saving and unfortunately for him, someone he considers a friend is one of them.

If the hero were to be hostile (which is highly likely), Ares would still get debuffed into oblivion regardless of MC's feelings (since it's an auto skill), so with it being uncancellable as long as the enemy doesn't let go of hostility/give up, I rather think it'd be an eye-opener for our protag in regards to the guy's level of scumbaggery.
The story IMO sets itself up in a way, that I'm guessing the hero will fly off the handle, confess/gloat about what he wanted to do to the female party members, as well as some sort of a 'I can't believe some mob is making me weak, why are you stealing what's mine, I AM THE HERO, EVERYONE SHOULD BOW TO ME, THE PROTAGONIST OF THE WORLD' speech, that would disillusion MC.
He recently learned about the hero being weak, which I guess caught him by surprise since Ares was performing the same throughout (so he had no frame of comparison). It's like he's discovering parts of the guy, that he was previously oblivious to. I sure hope I'm not overthinking that the earlier mention was supposed to plant a seed of doubt regarding Ares' goodness, or as a clincher together with the messy reunion.
My guesses are that Ares either dies or ends up stuck in the dream.



Since the story has someone considering finding a way to kill the demon lord without Ares' hero skill, I think they'll eventually figure something out, whether it's finding someone with holy powers and having them be buffed up, finding some other relic, or MC's unique skill just being that OP, that any party with him would be enough, as long as he can soak up the aggro (since it could be that the big bad would become brittle, but not enough to be killed off by the continous debuffing itself), so MC is a hero without being specifically named one.
In the meantime, MC might feel anxious, since the only known way thus far kinda offed/neutralized itself.

I utterly despise the MC acting like this.
His actions here, in "believing the best" of Ares/Hero, are not, in fact, idealistic; they are actually infantile.

The only counterpoint that comes to mind, is that this attitude of abject forgiveness and self-deprecation is the only way to not murder people.

Imagine that you get irritated at your friend, and they die due to the debuff; yanno... when you're 4 years old.

He was specifically "Born With" his power; did his mom get debuffed when she didnt feed him?
When he threw a tantrum?
When (hypothetically) the King tried to reneg on the deal when he was a Hero on the other continent... did the king die?
Did some kingdom die, when they became "his enemy?"

To avoid that, he has to believe that they can be forgiven, and be willing to forgive them like a child that has never known pain.

Just like he did with that "Goblin Hag;" I suggest that perhaps it wasn't because she had mighty tiddies, but because her accepting his forgiveness (and stop seeing him as an enemy) was the only way for her to live... and the mage did just tell the elf that demons normally have "cordial relations."

Also, the ease with which he can kill people, almost just by hurting their feelings very badly...? I guess that I might just stick to prostitutes, as well; hurt the feelings of a lover, and they get angry enough... the debuff could kill them, too!

Maybe he's just an idiot with the world's most pathological inferiority complex; maybe the author actually put thought into this.

I don't know... but either is possible.
