Chapter 667: Chapter 400: Death of the Twelfth Apostle (Part 2)
"You know nothing, teacher!" Mephisto roared.
...
She seemed to be back in the summer of the graduation duel, where the clash of fields saw the Technique easily dismantled by the teacher, yet Mephisto smiled.
He was a genius, not someone from this world, the son of Left Centurion of the Jinyi Guard.
However, in this life, although he was an orphan, he was a child blessed by the world.
"Teacher, watch carefully, this is my original creation, I will completely break your field’s Technique!" Mephisto smiled, and in the next moment, his field completely merged into Faust’s field.
"What kind of Technique is this?!" At this moment, Faust, facing his 16-year-old student, finally revealed a look of astonishment.
"Teacher, this is the method I discovered while researching field Techniques, allowing me to completely break another’s field in a short time, by completely merging my field with theirs, and then detonating my own field. I call this Technique..."
"Field Collapse!"
"And the price of using this Technique is to infect the world with your own soul to create the field!"
...
In the Consciousness Space, Faust’s expression showed no emotion, and the next moment, his pseudo-omniscient field instantly shattered and decomposed within Mephisto’s field.
The fragments of the field turned into countless points of light, scattering in front of him, at the intersection of the two.
"Teacher! Are you going to use that Technique!" Mephisto’s voice roared.
"It’s exactly the Technique you think." Faust smiled, speaking silently,
"Field Collapse!"
The pseudo-omniscient field, like salt falling into the sea, instantly merged into Mephisto’s field, yet at this moment, she roared loudly: "Teacher, you know the cost of this Technique. Even in our prime, using this Technique would cause soul pain, field fracture would make our psyche and will suffer unimaginable impacts."
"And now we are only left with soul forms, using it will lead to your death! Faust teacher!" Mephisto’s angry voice continued.
"Do you hate failure, Mephisto?" Faust said.
"You are my student, this is just my way of cleaning up as a teacher," Faust smiled, looking at the sky’s soaring light pillar, the black-purple Annihilation Energy seemingly tearing this Subspace apart.
"I have no complaints about taking you along, Mephisto!" Faust smiled, and at this moment, his entire remaining soul also completely shattered, merging entirely into Mephisto’s field along with his pseudo-omniscient field.
"Teacher! You can’t do this!"
"Goodbye, Mephisto, let’s go to Hell together!" Faust’s final voice completely merged into her field, as if coming from within her body.
Next moment, "Crack!"
Mephisto’s field began to shatter, the backdrop of the Divine Tree, the twilight sky, and the seemingly destroyed earth shattered like a mirror.
The last remaining part of Mephisto’s soul also began to decompose.
If it wasn’t in this unknown Subspace, she had a myriad of ways to avoid the teacher’s Field Collapse.
If her field’s Knight wasn’t in another field, she also had the strength to endure despite being hit by Field Collapse.
If her power here wasn’t reduced to a tenth, and even her Illusion Technique had just been used and then broken, she would have countless ways to avoid the forthcoming attack.
But, there was no "if" anymore.
When she was forcibly pulled into the Consciousness Space at this moment, her death was already destined, and Mephisto probably knew this as well. Thus, she was not thinking about fighting Faust to the death but persuading him to understand and join her side.
They were the closest people in the world, both past and present, why reach the point of swords drawn, a relentless battle?
She couldn’t understand.
And now, there’s no need to understand anymore, the annihilating light pillar completely crashed down, Mephisto, along with all her soul, body, and final energy form, completely disintegrated under this destructive power.
Completely turned into pure quarks, utterly annihilated in this Subspace.
The Giant God of Destruction inserted the equally annihilated Greatsword into the Consciousness Space, looking at the desolate interior of the Consciousness Space, at this moment his heart felt no emotion.
The Twelfth Apostle, completely dead.
Xue Dili looked at the ground flattened by the annihilating beam, along with Faust’s hut and a large section of the Divine Tree’s roots completely destroyed, the roots rolled to barely fill the pitted ground smoothly.
Although he tried to avoid damaging his Magic Academy as much as possible, the aftermath of the light cannon still destroyed many facilities within the academy.
Xue Dili looked up at the sky, for some reason, he always felt a sense of unreality, but with so much orchestrating and under Faust’s final Field Collapse, they managed to kill this Apostle.
"Perhaps, it’s simply because the energy from [Flowing Light Sand] was exhausted," Xue Dili silently looked at the hourglass on his chest.
Now, only a tiny amount of sand was left, scattered thinly.
And as if his original feelings vanished with the disappearance of those grains.
"But still, we won." Xue Dili came to the spot, thinking of Faust.
When he prepared to approach Harley Alben, Faust had said that he would use everything to hold back Mephisto’s Technique and create a decisive strike for Xue Dili.
And he did it, whether it was enduring ultimate humiliation, using a seduction scheme, or tightly holding Mephisto back twice, he fulfilled all his promises.
And Xue Dili’s promise...
"I will completely change this world, Faust, at least better than your world ever was." Xue Dili silently looked at the empty Consciousness Space above, he couldn’t feel his emotional fluctuations anymore.
Even if he may never see Faust again, he felt no fluctuations.
"Everything is over, I also need to find the connection between this world’s consciousness and the Twelfth Apostle, and completely resolve the nobility of this world." Xue Dili said.
...
As he left the Consciousness Space, it seemed as he expected, he suddenly could contact the World Consciousness.
But at this moment, the World Consciousness was actually an "empty shell"!
Xue Dili came to the core of the world, but there was nothing here, the world’s ritual should have been like Earth’s, one capable of fishing people out of Subspace.
This level of status was unique even in the worlds Xue Dili knew, even surpassing Margaret.
While the Twelve Apostles were around, Xue Dili dared not contact the World Consciousness, but now, he found there seemed to be no World Consciousness at all.
Impossible, able to fish Mephisto’s soul out of Subspace, how can there not be one?
But facts showed this was the case, now, the entire world has "awareness," but this "awareness" is an empty shell, akin to a vegetative state, only basic reactions and logic, no clear consciousness.
"Perhaps, there are still many problems that I haven’t been able to investigate." Xue Dili said.
Especially, the fact that Mephisto transformed from body to soul into a female, which is one of the biggest mysteries.
He began to prepare to pull out this world’s background.
His first target was to find the records of Mephisto being fished by the world, and soon, Xue Dili found the record from 400 years ago.
