@Adsfer Sure, we all knew it wouldn't break limits he didn't have, but it still makes sense that he would try it. I mean, he's still not really sure why his mysterious power works the way it does, what the gates are, what the monsters are, etc. He's been trying to investigate the truth this whole time, so of course he's going to want to learn more about "a power that defies the common sense of this world".

Especially since this means other people have been able to increase their power, which affects his strategic mindset. If he blindly assumed that getting stronger was a random thing that pretty much never happens, he could get tripped up later on. But now he has proof that some people are powered up intentionally, and that means he can't let his guard down.

@engmoustly Nah, it's supposed to be monarch, not king. You'll see why soon enough. The real story is just getting started, everything up through the Jeju Island Raid was basically the prelude.

It's disappointing that so many people know that Nietzsche quote but not the first part of it. It gives the whole thing meaning.

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."

It's a warning against human nature. It's all too easy for people who claim to be fighting fear and hatred to end up using fear and hate themselves, becoming the thing they're fighting. Like Anakin in episode III for example, but there are lots of real life cases too, even today. This chapter is using the quote LITERALLY rather than metaphorically.

Fucking useless chapter. Just the author sucking the MC's balls as if it wasn't enough already.

Spoopy.

Hopefully the MC runs into someone that can kick his ass soon. He's at his best as an underdog.
