Sky Curtain: An Initial Overview of the Immortal Lord of the Myriad Laws of the Mortal World

The most bizarre combination in history

The combination of Duan Xinglian and Chen

Moreover, the supernatural abilities of these two are both top-notch.

Now let's talk about why the combination of Duan Xinglian and Chen can be called the strongest causal supernatural power possessor in history.

The world of "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation".

In the Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian was idly turning the flute Chenqing when he saw the title on the sky and his eyes lit up.

"A duo from the underworld? Hey, Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, look! This name sounds way more exciting than 'Yunmeng Duo'!"

He nudged Lan Wangji beside him and said with a grin.

"The strongest causality in history? That sounds mystical. But then again, if that were my ability, I could just make anyone I didn't like trip and fall flat on their face, making them choke on their feet even when drinking water. Wouldn't that be much easier than drawing talismans and casting spells? I just wonder who this 'Chen' is. To be paired with the protagonist, he must be no pushover either. I bet a pot of Emperor's Smile wine that these two together will cause more trouble than I did back then!"

The world of Code Geass.

On the bridge of the Black Knights' flagship "Ikaruga," Lelouch rested his chin on his hand, his purple eyes gleaming with rationality, his interest in the group far exceeding its name.

"The strongest causality...? This isn't a matter of power level, but an absolute suppression at the level of rules. If this description is true, then the strategic value this combination can exert will far exceed that of any army, and may even surpass the power of Geass. Ordinary battles seek the optimal solution within the rules. But they seem to possess the power to define the 'rules' themselves. I need to know the cost, limitations, and triggering conditions of this power. Otherwise, all assessments are meaningless. However, the name 'Underworld Combination' does quite intuitively illustrate that their style of action will be extremely unscrupulous and unpredictable."

First, let's take a look at the innate supernatural abilities that each of them possesses separately, and we'll find that any one of them is already incredibly powerful.

First, there's Chen's innate divine power, which has a relatively simple mechanism but a very powerful effect.

His name is the Star Thief.

The world of "A Thought Through Eternity".

Bai Xiaochun was refining medicine in his cave when he saw the words "The Star Thief" and trembled in fright, almost causing the alchemy furnace in his hand to explode.

"The Star Thief? Goodness, that name is terrifying. If he can steal even stars, what can't he steal? My pills, my magic weapons, my life... If he targets me, won't all my possessions be gone overnight? No, no, this kind of person is too dangerous. If I ever meet him on the road, I'll definitely go around him. I absolutely can't let him know that I can refine the elixir of immortality! But... this supernatural power sounds really amazing. If I could steal other people's cultivation and supernatural powers, wouldn't that be... hehehe."

The world of Perfect World.

In Stone Village, Shi Hao, who was drinking animal milk, looked up, blinked his big eyes, and had milk stains on the corners of his mouth.

"The Star Thief? Wow, that's amazing! Can you steal stars from the sky? What do stars taste like? Is it like animal milk? If I could steal all my opponents' magical techniques and bone inscriptions and make them my own, I wouldn't have to fight so hard anymore. If I don't like someone, I can just steal their power and turn them into a mortal, and then... hey, I can empty their treasure trove and all their precious animal milk! This is amazing, I love it! Next time I encounter an enemy, I'll call myself the 'Star Thief'!"

That's right, his innate supernatural power was not the innate supernatural power of causality.

However, this supernatural power is even more powerful than ordinary causal supernatural powers; it can do so without distorting causality.

They can take other people's clothes, thoughts, spiritual bodies, and supernatural powers for their own use.

In other words, as long as it's within his attack range,

The enemy's body can be used.

All of the enemy's supernatural abilities can also be used.

The world of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.

Jotaro Kujo adjusted the brim of his hat, his handsome eyebrows furrowing slightly, his eyes sharp.

"This is just too much... What kind of Stand ability is this? The speed and power of Star Platinum, and the time acceleration created by Heaven, are still within the realm of understanding. But this 'Star Thief' can actually steal 'thoughts' and 'supernatural powers'? This goes beyond simple physical interference; it's a conceptual plunder. Moreover, the fact that he 'doesn't distort causality' is the most troublesome aspect. This means that his actions are permitted by the fundamental laws of this world and cannot be broken through by conventional logical loopholes. It's like having an enemy with countless Stands; you never know whose ability he'll use to attack you next. It's infuriating."

The world of Death Note.

Light Yagami sat in front of the computer, his fingers pausing on the keyboard, a look of extreme interest, even a hint of fanaticism, on his face.

"It's perfect... This ability is practically made for the king of the new world! It's more proactive and flexible than the Death Note! The Death Note can only erase, but this ability can 'control'! Stealing thoughts allows one to see through all of L's plans; stealing supernatural powers grants superhuman strength to clear obstacles. It can even steal an enemy's body for disguise and infiltration. Most importantly, it doesn't distort causality, meaning its use is extremely difficult to trace—the perfect tool for crime. If I possessed this ability, I wouldn't need Ryuk or that notebook at all; the process of building the new world would be shortened a hundredfold!"

Moreover, there are no restrictions on the target of his supernatural power.

When pushed to the limit, he was even able to steal a portion of his own primordial spirit.

The world of "Xian Ni".

Wang Lin sat cross-legged in the starry sky, his expression indifferent, but a ripple finally appeared in his usually calm eyes.

"Stealing the primordial spirit... what a ruthless method. Ordinary possession is already extremely dangerous. This supernatural power can even separate one's own primordial spirit; it's practically playing with fire. Such an approach inevitably carries enormous risks; a slight misstep could result in the annihilation of one's soul. But conversely, it also provides an unbelievable way to save one's life. If faced with certain death, one can steal a wisp of primordial spirit in advance and hide it elsewhere, as if creating countless incarnations. As long as one wisp remains, there is always a chance to make a comeback. This method... is even more bizarre and harder to defend against than my incarnation technique. If one is an enemy of someone who possesses this supernatural power, one must destroy all possible hiding places for their primordial spirit as soon as possible before one can feel at ease."

The world of "Heaven Official's Blessing".

Inside the Puqi Temple, Xie Lian was sweeping the floor when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but stop sweeping and sighed softly.

"Alas, to even steal one's own primordial spirit... what kind of desperate situation must one have endured to create or use such a divine power? This method is powerful, but it must also be extremely painful for the individual. Each division is like a slow, agonizing torture of the soul. If one's will were not exceptionally strong, one would probably have already lost oneself in the repeated thefts. I only hope that the person who possesses this power will have a kind heart. Otherwise, using this method to commit evil will likely create boundless karmic obstacles, and the entire Three Realms will never have peace. Hua Cheng, don't you agree?"

And the most outrageous thing is actually,

This is not actually the innate divine power of causality.

Because we can learn from Jiang Mingzi,

Such powerful causal innate supernatural abilities can be restricted by the supernatural world.

This refers to the so-called causal punishment.

If you go too far with your supernatural powers of cause and effect...

This karmic retribution will strike you down, no matter how powerful you are.

If it accumulates to a certain point, it will directly eliminate you. But Chen's innate divine power...

As long as he doesn't cause too much trouble,

Stealing other people's supernatural powers and magical bodies—a jumbled mess—and then using it for oneself.

Basically, nothing's wrong.

The world of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Gojo Satoru removed his blindfold, his six all-seeing eyes gleaming with excitement, and he whistled.

"Oh wow, this is interesting. Exploiting loopholes in the rules, I love it. It's like my 'No Limits,' which essentially pushes the concept of 'distance' to its extreme, so it doesn't directly interfere with the world's 'cause and effect.' This 'Star Thief' is the same; his actions are judged by the world as 'taking' or 'borrowing,' not 'creating out of thin air' or 'forcibly changing.' So, as long as what he stole is still within the world's overall framework, it's not a violation. Without the punishment of causality, it's like a bugged skill with no cooldown, no mana cost, and infinite usability! This Chen is a genius. I'd love to see if he can steal my domain if I unleash 'Boundless Void.'"

The world of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

Han Li was taking stock of various magical treasures and pills in his cave when he saw the explanation on the sky screen. He broke out in a cold sweat and silently reinforced the restrictions with more than a dozen layers.

"No punishment under the law of cause and effect? ​​Hiss... That's the most terrifying part. In the cultivation world, any act against the heavens will be met with a backlash from the Heavenly Dao. This divine power is so domineering, yet it can bypass the heavenly punishment, which means its priority under the law is extremely high. The risk of making an enemy of this kind of person is simply too great. You can't win by wearing him down, because he has almost no cost. Moreover, he can steal divine power bodies, so my Palm Heaven Bottle, my Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, all my treasures... wouldn't they all be lost in a single encounter? No, I must classify this person as the most dangerous individual. If I unfortunately encounter him in the future, don't think about anything else, run away immediately, run as far as you can! This is no longer a battle of magic, this is going against the rules themselves, it's not worth it, it's really not worth it."

Except for one time when he recklessly stole future fortune,

This led to the world's first causal punishment.

This reflects the insatiable greed of the entire Fucheng population.

That's why he was able to bring about such a huge disaster. And what's even more ridiculous is that his supernatural powers can also steal other people's innate causal supernatural powers.

The world of Detective Conan.

Inside the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan stroked his chin, a glint of wisdom flashing in his glasses.

"So that's how it is. The limitation has finally appeared. This supernatural power isn't without flaws. Its 'exemption' is based on not changing the total amount of energy and matter in the world, but merely 'transferring' it. However, 'luck' and 'future' are metaphysical, non-material concepts. Stealing the luck of the 'future' is equivalent to pre-borrowing something that doesn't belong to this point in time, disrupting the balance of time's balance, which is why the causal law penalty is triggered. This means that as long as he steals something beyond the 'present' and 'physical,' he can be forced to pay a price. And... he can actually steal other people's causal supernatural powers? This... this is like a thief not only stealing your wallet but also conveniently stealing the police's ability to catch him! This is unscientific!"

The world of "Under One Person".

On Longhu Mountain, Daoist Wang Ye yawned lazily, but his eyes were more solemn than ever before.

"My Qimen Manifestation technique, even just stirring up the possibilities of the future, leaves me exhausted and backfires. This guy, on the other hand, goes straight for stealing the 'future's' fortune? Seriously… he's got a death wish. But to steal the very power of causality itself—that's a huge mess. It's like he's not only a player who doesn't play by the rules, but he can also steal the referee at any time and make him blow the whistle unfairly. How can anyone compete like that? How can such an unreasonable technique exist in this world? Troublesome, so very troublesome. When I encounter someone like this, I'd better consult a fortune teller to see which direction is the most auspicious to escape in."

So, such a powerful being...

They have temporarily merged into one.

Therefore, when Duan Xinglian was dealing with the Myriad Corpse Immortal...

Besides being able to use their own innate supernatural powers...

You can also steal the enemy's supernatural abilities to use.

The world of Gintama.

Inside the Yorozuya, Sakata Gintoki picked his nose while staring at the sky with dead fish eyes, lazily making a comment.

"Ah, they've combined, right? I know, like in Weekly Shonen Jump, two powerful guys combine, and their fighting power becomes some kind of random number, and their hair color changes too. But, one can already rewrite stories, and the other can steal anything, these two together... the enemy is just too pitiful. For example, it's like you're playing cards with someone, you have four aces, and the other person says, 'I'll tell you a story, your four aces are mine now,' and then they actually take your cards. Who can stand that! It's worse than cheating, this is table-flipping level of cheating!"

The world of Overlord.

On the throne of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown's red eyes flashed intensely, and he even couldn't help but tap his skull with his bone hand, as if to confirm that he hadn't misunderstood.

"What...what an absurd and powerful combination! If we consider Duan Xinglian's 'Storytelling King' ability as a GM command with the highest authority, then Yao Chen's 'Star Thief' is a super cheat that can ignore permissions and directly copy and paste other players' data. Now, this GM and a top-tier cheat have merged! He can not only write his own scripts, but also 'borrow' the enemy's top-tier skills and equipment at any time to enrich his own scripts! This is no longer PVP; this is unilaterally modifying the game rules to slaughter opponents! If such a being appeared in YGGDRASIL...no, thankfully he didn't appear in YGGDRASIL, otherwise all the guilds combined probably wouldn't be enough to deal with him alone."
