"Am I crazy? They can actually continue to improve at this stage?!"
If the fans were just shocked before, now they were frightened.
"Do they have no limit?"
Starting from the Wildness at the beginning, these two had already completed two explosions.
And every improvement was that kind of visible, huge improvement.
However.
Akashi and the others knew that these two didn't truly have no limits; next would be their limit.
After stimulating their physical potential to 100%, they would have no possibility of continuing to improve.
Smack!
Yuuto rushed out like a thunderbolt, intercepting Imayoshi Shoichi's pass.
The opponent wasn't some nobody; he was a national-level point guard.
Yet in front of Yuuto, Imayoshi was as docile as a pet.
Yuuto killed his way out, a large amount of steam erupting from his body, lingering in place like fog.
At the same time, the golden light on his body didn't diminish but flourished, electric arcs swimming around him, his agility unbelievably swift.
People were startled.
Looking at the history of the Nationals, Yuuto was also in the strongest ranks, possibly number one, surpassing any previous high school students.
Aomine said nothing. Highly focused attention made him selectively forget his teammate's mistake.
Complaining was useless now.
Only Yuuto remained in his eyes. He turned into a cyan lightning bolt and launched a frantic pursuit.
People marveled; the duel between these two was truly full of phenomena, special effects maxed out. Worthy of being the strongest geniuses of this era, their performance was too astounding.
They crossed the center circle one after another, then quickly arrived at the three-point line.
Yuuto launched a fierce attack. The blood flow speed in his body was heaven-defying; the steam spewed out blurred people's vision.
They could only see the two bodies constantly crossing through the golden light he emitted and the cyan lightning in Aomine's eyes, engaging in an incomparably fierce confrontation.
"What exactly is that?" Taiga Kagami simply couldn't sit still.
He already knew about Demon Mode, but what was Aomine's state?
"Zone!"
Teammates explained to him.
"In a basketball game, no matter what level of genius, the potential they can exert is at most 80%."
"This is a kind of self-protection of the body, a limit that cannot be easily broken."
"But you just said their state just now already broke 80%." Kagami was even more puzzled.
Since limits are so hard to break, why did they break them in the second quarter without entering the Zone?
"So they are geniuses among geniuses." Riko Aida sighed silently.
This was what her professional father told her. Probably even Kagetora Aida didn't know that there were players who could break the 80% limit through other means, temporarily pushing the limit to 90%!
"Then Zone?" Kagami pursued.
"The domain of the Zone... once a player enters, their potential will be fully released, stimulating 100% of their potential!"
"It seems like only a 10% improvement, but at Yuuto and Aomine's level, every 1% improvement opens a huge gap with ordinary players." Teppei Kiyoshi said solemnly, "Their 100% cannot be judged by common sense."
On the court.
The fierce confrontation continued.
The white steam became thicker and thicker, almost covering the golden light and cyan electricity.
One could only hear the frequent ear-piercing sounds of sneakers frantically rubbing against the floor.
"Was the first half just a warm-up phase?" Fans swallowed hard.
What kind of match was this?
Even from the stands, they couldn't see clearly; it was too amazing.
"This is what I looked forward to. Since accidentally knowing about the Zone in junior high, you are the only one who allowed me to step into this domain so easily!" Aomine's hoarse voice revealed excitement.
Entering the Zone required a trigger.
And his trigger for entering the Zone was an opponent who could give him pressure.
This was hard to find; Yuuto was the first player to do it successively.
"Do you look forward to failure that much? I'll fulfill your wish!"
The golden light on Yuuto's body was brilliant to the extreme. Finally, he passed through the white steam and killed his way out.
"Didn't I tell you? It means crushing you thoroughly!" Aomine was unwilling to lag behind, also passing through the steam to kill his way out.
Compared to other players, their actions were like watching a video at maximum speed.
Between the crossing of figures, they had already reached under the basket.
Then.
Strength Specialization!
...
Yuuto jumped high, his right hand gripping the basketball with five fingers, containing terrifying immense power.
The Ace of the Generation of Miracles didn't know, only feeling huge danger approaching.
He stubbornly reached out to intercept, but it was futile.
Feeling the terrifying power coming from the basketball, Aomine decisively let go of his palm.
BOOM~
Yuuto succeeded with the tomahawk dunk. The entire basketball hoop shook violently, then hummed.
Strength second only to Murasakibara.
Aomine wanted to ask how Yuuto did it.
But felt asking was useless. Since Demon Mode started, inside the Generation of Miracles, they believed Yuuto's body was different from ordinary people.
This was an ability bestowed upon him by heaven, just like their Generation of Miracles.
"First speed, now strength. No, perhaps the mid-court super-long three-pointer before was too. Yuuto can specialize all his own abilities."
...
The secondary personality Akashi spoke for the first time.
His application of the Emperor Eye was still above Nash's.
After all, he was a severe chuunibyou (8th-grader syndrome) who called what the Emperor Eye saw "the future."
"Can you tell how he does it?" Akashi asked.
"Not sure. Probably related to his body. The strength he exploded with in that instant was second only to Atsushi."
"Second only to Murasakibara?"
Akashi took a deep breath, communicating with himself in his brain.
"Are there no weaknesses?"
"There are. When he specializes, abilities in other aspects will drop. Before when specializing speed, Yuuto didn't gain an advantage in physical confrontation with Daiki."
This was the weakness of specialization.
However.
It couldn't really be called a weakness. Even in the state of specializing speed just now, Yuuto's physical confrontation maintained the level of a year ago.
Enough to deal with all players except Murasakibara.
"So there are no weaknesses?"
"No, our Emperor Eye can do it!"
The secondary personality Akashi was extremely confident.
After that match a year ago ended, he also didn't waste time, constantly thinking about ways to defeat Yuuto.
The current "them" were stronger than a year ago!
His existence was for victory. If he couldn't bring victory to Akashi Seijuro, then his existence would be meaningless.
"The future seen by the Emperor Eye is absolute!"
