Yh, Focus Punch which gave him the strength to resist the backlash from his epithet and Telekinesis which he uses till now, Telepathy which helped a lot when he lost his voice and allowed access to mind arts(Occlumency and Legimency-think I butchered it) and the enhanced movement and agility in water bodies (this helped him gain the Eon Dew). It's helped him a lot.

it's only gonna get worse with time as well. He'll gain more abilities, start getting skills and more absurd skills from fusion... our boy is really gonna be Azatoth level by the end. He already has the makings of an Eldritch being's mind. He said he was gonna focus on his physical skills through Black and his Soul is already the highest grade with there being some errors when it was initially being measured. Blood Devour also makes his body somewhat Eldritch-like with the ability to 'change forms'. I'm hyped for what's in store.

Yh, surprisingly. However, I like it. It helped Kai a lot in the early stages with its skills and abilities. Without the regeneration buff from the Fear manipulation ability(and the essence it came from), this would be the best essence of the pre 3rd stage tournament arcs. We all know it was the regeneration buffs that allowed Kai to stay in battle for so long, plus the capsules of course. But Fear manipulation even made it to the Master level, showing how often it was used and was even added to AI...🤔🤔 maybe that's why the ability has Eldritch qualities?? I just realized this. You said just cuz abilities fuse doesn't mean they lose their individual capabilities, they just come together to form a whole new thing(really summarised and could be mistaken) so does the effect of Master Fear Manipulation still apply?? Does he still get the regeneration buff??

I couldn't shake off the part where right after 'completing' Ad Infinitum and creating an AI, Kai was ready to kill Moraine, Red Sun, and even Meg cuz by his measures, they were no longer relevant. That scene shook me up cuz it was the first time I could feel the 'Outer God essence ' in him. And AI really seems to make him that capable. He could silently implant a crystal into the minds of others without losing too much of his consciousness and silently 'download' all your memories and even take you over. You could be going about your life, completing missions and gathering information for him with your knowledge. He could easily build an organization of puppets for himself. And these are just the most basic of its capabilities. AI's ability to scheme, comprehend, and analyze, is off the charts as it's built on MC's base intelligence(which is already so high), the Dark Scroll Potion and a plethora of advance and master mind-related abilities. With such an absurd ability in the hands of someone as competent as Kai, it's easy to see how and why he could become an Outer God(those horrific beings) and beyond. With AI, he is now way above the norm and even the absurd. He's well into the realm of the incomprehensible(and it's just at the Elementary Phase and not even Elite yet). All this minus his Shikai, future Bankai, Calm, Parseltongue, Selfless Breathing, Faceless, and all the master abilities on their way to becoming Elite like Telekinesis and such, and he can fuse them in the Verse Fusion world. And not to leave out his Glitch that produces abilities like they are mere cabbages sold in the market. Mind you, he has never really devoured an apex creature like Dragons and Legendary Pokémon types. What kind of abilities do you think he'll gain from them?? Buh the most terrifying thing is his mind which now aided by AI is...

Will it affect his epithets if he discarded Golduck's essence?? Also, I'm surprised he held on to it for so long with the options available to him now

The first ability he raised to Elite himself... You made us proud Kai 😭😭😭

It's only Elementary and already so powerful???

Avengers in the making...???

Suicide Squad???

Tai long???
