Is this the real reason why Ability is being occupied?
And not long after, Ze drove him away, Yu Liang figured out why; that damn thing needed to use the Writer's Mutated Profession Ability again, so he had to send away the real owner, Yu Liang.
In the spacetime where Ze was, his approach seemed to be on the brink of success and failure; he successfully pushed the Barrel Man Origin into the barrel, restricting its movement and abilities.
However, Ze did not reveal the method to Yu Liang, indicating that he knew this path was wrong—it could give humans an advantage, but it would likewise be a dead end, just like the situation he faced.
Perhaps it is a method that can trap the Barrel Man Origin, but it is also what turns the entire situation into stagnant water; ultimately, it's useless.
In this timeline, Ze is capable of suppressing the Barrel Man Origin, but it is as if he is using his own body to press down on it, gathering all the barrels around him for disposal.
