But.
If the current state of the battlefield is the second dimension, and the football concepts constructed in the minds of each player, including myself, are the third dimension, then what Kaiser is seeing is a fourth-dimensional view.
Everything was just as I had deduced.
Then what about the world in Tendou's eyes?
Could it be that the vision he can observe has reached the fifth dimension?
That's it. Only by surpassing Kaiser's "God's Point of View" could Tendou have made that impossible save!
"No wonder Tendou was able to fight on equal footing with Loki."
"Because just like Loki, they both possess a pinnacle talent that cannot be copied."
Isagi Yoichi took a deep breath.
The stronger he became, the more he understood, and the more he could feel Tendou's formidable power.
He didn't feel discouraged.
At least, compared to before when he didn't even know how strong Tendou was, he could now, more or less, see Tendou's limits.
Now that he had a goal, the next step was to face the challenge head-on.
"Metavision, Direct Shot..."
Isagi felt that he had already seen his golden equation.
Unlike Chigiri Hyoma's golden shooting zone from 19 meters on the left side, his golden equation was to be like Kaiser.
And he had to go beyond that, to surpass Kaiser!
Bayern was on the attack.
Gagamaru Gin kicked a long ball to Grimm, who, under pressure from Man City, passed the ball to Ness.
And Isagi.
He had already begun to put his theory into practice.
"Don't focus on any one person, but use my peripheral vision to capture everyone!"
"Then, feed all this information into my brain at once, process it with my soccer IQ, and find the path that belongs to me!"
Isagi's fighting spirit was soaring.
For others, accomplishing such a feat would be difficult, but for him, it was not entirely impossible.
Because.
From the moment he stepped into Blue Lock, this was how he had always played football.
In the midfield.
Ness was coordinating with his teammates as usual, but his ultimate goal was to find Kaiser and assist him in scoring.
Isagi was well aware of this.
He processed all the information his eyes were receiving at high speed in the depths of his mind.
In just a moment, he felt that this action was incredibly draining on his eyes and brain.
But he still persevered, capturing information from his blind spots one by one.
"Kaiser is being marked more heavily, Ness is being closely defended by Reo, Kunigami is staying in his own area, waiting for an opportunity."
He still couldn't see an opening, but this feeling was so exciting.
All the information he had been unable to grasp until now was now flowing through his brain—reliably, accurately, and in massive quantities.
"Above me, there is another way of thinking!"
"A super-sense that exists on another plane!"
Isagi constantly forced himself to think, think, and keep thinking.
And then.
Cracks suddenly appeared in his pupils, and his eyeballs were split into 8 sections.
Metavision!
He had entered it!
Just by watching it once, he had learned Metavision from Kaiser.
This was not only because of his formidable learning ability, but also because this was how he had played from the very beginning.
In an instant, the picture in Isagi's mind changed.
It was as if he could predict the future; the players on the field were moving according to the constructs in his brain.
"It's here, I've found it!"
In the midfield.
A large number of Man City and Bayern players were engaged in a fierce struggle.
Kaiser's eyes scanned his surroundings, and seeing an opportunity, he made his move again.
And then.
Ness, who had been watching Kaiser all along, delivered the ball right on time, as always.
But.
Just as Kaiser was about to receive the ball, Isagi suddenly shot out and stole it with one touch.
"Nani?!"
The unexpected interception stunned all the players on the field, including Chigiri and the others.
"I can see everything, I can understand everything..."
Isagi ignored everyone, completely immersed in the wonderful feeling of Metavision.
"To think such a view existed."
It was too beautiful.
Isagi was mesmerized by everything before him.
"Then what about the view in Tendou's eyes?"
At this moment, he was incredibly eager to see what the world looked like from Tendou's perspective.
"Don't get carried away, kid," Dravus came forward, but was easily bypassed by Isagi.
Something had happened to Isagi Yoichi.
Reo, Raichi, Kaiser, Chigiri.
The players from both teams, both on and off the field, could feel it.
"Follow me, Kurona!"
He shouted, signaling for Kurona to follow him.
What appeared in Isagi's eyes now was the distortion born from the battlefield, seen through the insight of Metavision.
Isagi first got past Man City's defensive midfielder, Dravus, and then Mikage Reo.
Now.
He had already broken through to Man City's defensive line. Yangu, the center-back, was forced to challenge him.
"Kurona."
Without even lifting his head, Isagi passed the ball horizontally to the advancing Kurona Ranze.
The latter was slightly surprised; Isagi hadn't looked at him once the entire time.
But now was not the time for idle thoughts.
...
Kurona Ranze cooperated with Isagi to complete a clean one-two pass.
At this moment.
Manchester City's defensive line was in jeopardy.
But.
Just as Isagi was still immersed in the world of Metavision.
Suddenly.
In his field of vision, a clap of thunder erupted.
And then, Tendou came charging from a distance.
"This shape... so that's how it is."
"Metavision. You've grasped it."
What?
Isagi was suddenly startled. Just as Kaiser had been unable to see where Tendou would appear in front of the goal before...
The current Isagi was also unable to notice that Tendou was about to charge at him.
But.
"Cowering in fear will only lead to stagnation."
"Let's see you try, Tendou! Try to defeat the newborn me!"
Isagi let out a loud roar.
...
In the depths of his brain, all the information about Tendou flashed like formulas.
He combined all this information to find the answer to defeating Tendou.
And then.
The moment he was about to make contact with Tendou, he suddenly turned his back to him.
"I have to evade the observation of the Six Eyes!"
This was the only method he could think of now. He had pulled the ball back before turning, and as soon as he completed the turn, he immediately went for a backheel.
The ball went through Tendou's legs!
"I did it!"
His heart raced. Next, all he had to do was turn past Tendou, and he could shoot directly.
But then.
"Nice pass, that was brilliant, Yoichi!" Kaiser's mocking laughter rang out.
Just as Isagi had stolen the ball meant for him, he was now going to steal Isagi's ball.
Isagi's expression turned ugly. His clever backheel flick now looked like a perfect pass for Kaiser.
The key was, if it weren't for him, Kaiser, who lacked information on Tendou, would have never been able to get past him.
"Kaiser, why did that guy..." Isagi gritted his teeth.
Am I going to hand over the fruits of my victory to Kaiser?
Damn it.
Isagi suddenly felt the pressure on his back disappear.
The feeling was as if he had been leaning against a wall, and the wall had suddenly been removed.
He whipped his head around, just in time to see Tendou dropping back and stopping the ball with one foot.
Not too close, not too far.
Positioned perfectly between himself and Kaiser.
"But it's still too shallow. What you see is only the tip of the iceberg of the world."
Tendou's cold words exploded in his ear.
Isagi's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to do something, Tendou had already taken off at high speed, brushing past him as he charged out.
