Chapter 664: Chapter 399: Master and Disciple
Faust’s B Point package, the detonation of the bacteriophage, and all the scheming laid out to approach this Apostle, ultimately were merely to forcibly drag him into the Consciousness Space, placing him on the same level as their side.
Xue Dili had simulated countless times in his mind, attempting to see if he could achieve his goal in one fell swoop, directly seizing the chance to kill this Apostle.
This was what he was best at, calculating carefully against the unprepared, then making arrangements for a duel, utilizing preparations and conspiracies to deliver an unimaginable strike, just as Zeus once said, he was essentially a cold and venomous snake.
By hiding, disguising himself, and secreting large amounts of venom, when the enemy couldn’t see him and walked through nearby grass, he would suddenly appear to deliver a fatal blow, this was his most adept method of attack.
However, when facing the Apostle, Xue Dili only had one opportunity for attack.
The only attack, perhaps even the last attack, how could he achieve success in one move?
Xue Dili suddenly discovered that he couldn’t accomplish it with current means, unless the Star Annihilator Cannon hit him straight on.
Therefore, their final decision was to forcibly drag this Apostle into this space, then it would be the most brutal and bloody arena.
The powers of the 12 Apostles were entirely for the service of mechanisms, he was like the most disgusting mechanism monster, perhaps other Apostles who once compromised with him did so because his abilities were too repulsive, entirely illusion techniques, psychic and deceit, invincible on home turf, unless he sought death, no one could end him there.
While the other Apostle’s purpose was to take people, not to destroy the world, world destruction was a thankless task that caused endless trouble, and gained nothing for the Apostle, therefore he let it be.
To deal with such mechanism monsters, Xue Dili and his group didn’t plan to greedily seek damage, but prepared to forcibly drag him into the Iron Man Arena, here, he couldn’t run, couldn’t escape, and illusion techniques and deceit, due to being in the Consciousness Space, Xue Dili, as half the master of Subspace, could completely see through like a planetary consciousness.
This was akin to the trickster lady forcibly pulled into the arena by the Iron Man, her pulling and deceit power greatly diminished.
Furthermore, here existed someone who could completely counter Mephisto’s mechanisms.
That’s Faust!
Despite Faust never using the Divine Tree Fruit, all of Mephisto’s techniques were essentially learned from Faust, if not for insufficient stats, Faust alone could completely crush Mephisto, but due to insufficient stats, Faust would never rise under normal circumstances.
Yet now, in this Subspace arena, stats are supplemented by Xue Dili, mechanisms countered by Faust.
"Welcome to Hell, Mephisto." After finishing a bow, Faust laughed, manically laughed, as if dancing, or as if playing a violin upon the void, his whole demeanor seemed mad.
"Teacher... I see, so it truly was you, teacher, with me these days..." Mephisto laughed, looking towards Faust, at this moment he seemed relieved, looking upon the gentlemanly teacher.
Turned out these days, it was indeed his former teacher alongside him...
He seemed to return to a day a hundred years ago, shortly after becoming a student at the Mysticism Academy, the teacher personally taking him through a practical combat class.
"Fights between the Mysterious Side often reach a conclusion in an instant, one side’s technique is unable to be cracked by the other, thus victory is instantaneous, such are the battles of the Mysterious Side, brutal and swift."
Once, the young teacher’s words still echoed in his ears, Mephisto, like all Mystic Scholar students, although he awakened the mysterious technique innately, for him at that time, all knowledge and understanding of the Mysterious Side resembled the most beautiful scenery.
"Thus the first lesson I teach you, which is my original technique, documented in the first volume of my technique book ’Soya’s Book’, its name is..."
...
"Domain Expansion!" Faust pressed his index and middle fingers together, in the next moment, centered upon his hand, twisted and eerie engravings instantly emerged across his body, a circle expanded with him as the radius.
"Domain Expansion!" Mephisto performed the exact same motion, in the next instant, a domain stronger and more terrifying than Faust’s unfolded, seemingly attempting once again to cover Xue Dili’s Consciousness Space.
"Silence!" Xue Dili directly called upon his control over the Consciousness Space, therefore Mephisto’s domain was forcibly suppressed, here, his domain only spread to a radius of 50 meters.
Unlike Faust’s illusory domain, Mephisto’s domain was real, and his domain, just like Xue Dili’s, was a Subspace completely under his control!
That is to say, Mephisto also possessed a Consciousness Space (Subspace), except his Consciousness Space was temporary and inferior to Xue Dili’s, hence it was suppressed.
Within his domain’s range was a similarly sky-blocking Divine Tree, the background was a twilight-like world, with the solitary Divine Tree standing at the world’s center, yet now under the suppression of Xue Dili’s subspace, that Divine Tree appeared like a mere sapling.
