Chapter 673: Chapter 403: Stop Obsessing Over True or False Goodness—Just Do What You Believe Is Right
Xue Dili may have already guessed what exactly he has forgotten.
All the schemes between him and Faust previously were almost entirely aimed at the permissions of the Mephisto World. They completely screened out Mephisto’s power on the native planet and then greatly restricted Mephisto’s abilities through Xue Dili’s absolute control over the Consciousness Space.
However, even Xue Dili didn’t expect that within his Consciousness Space, the authority belonging to the Apostle part could still have an effect.
It wasn’t the power Mephisto originally mastered through his own status, but rather the authority gradually mastered during the time after becoming an Apostle, perhaps even those powers not yet fully controlled, much like how Xue Dili hasn’t fully mastered the Void Power.
And that is, cognitive fraud!
As long as there’s any being that holds the cognition of "is Mephisto still not dead," he would "revive" in the form of a memetic creature on that person and gradually twist their will until that person completely turns into Mephisto himself, achieving a cuckoo-like revival.
When did I fall for it?
Xue Dili frowned deeply, he even completely forgot under what circumstances he was entangled by this memetic creature.
Was it when using the world permissions? Or was it just when he had killed Mephisto and returned to the original world?
Xue Dili forgot, but he was indeed affected by Mephisto’s methods, he even developed extremely abnormal thoughts. Xue Dili couldn’t believe that he would actually have the same "broker" thoughts at this moment.
Even these thoughts are so silently nourishing, directly appearing in the deepest part of your mind, as if they were ideas that could only be generated by you, gradually twisting your original thoughts, your original choices until you completely become someone else.
If I were a Tang person from Bashu at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would be normal to have the idea of a broker, just like most civil servants when the Manchus entered the pass felt the "water too cold, scalp itchy," but myself born in the 21st century, surviving a forest fire miraculously, would I have such thoughts?
Especially now, when I am in a completely emotionless state, left only with reason, this is Mephisto’s biggest flaw.
Even if it’s her cognitive distortion, her fraud, all the power born upon this authority can’t have the slightest influence on Xue Dili’s current state!
Between them, it is like water and cooking oil, no matter how mixed together, once let stand, they will completely separate.
After once again penetrating Mephisto’s face, this time, his final appearance was on the face of this body, as if completely occupying the original face, the appearance of this body also began to twist, the eye sockets sunken, turning completely into Mephisto’s likeness.
He even seemed to completely control this body and performed a gentleman’s salute to Susu not far away, just like Faust’s etiquette, like a gentleman.
Susu: "!!!"
She completely lost her composure now, not knowing at all what to do.
And within the body, this memetic creature began a fierce struggle with Xue Dili, just like the incompatibility between water and fire.
Their souls battled each other savagely, entangled with each other.
Xue Dili killed Mephisto time and again, in the deepest parts of the heart, Mephisto’s corpses littered the wilderness.
Yet at the next moment, it would still appear and launch an attack on Xue Dili.
"You can’t possibly defeat me at all, even if I tell you the principle of my existence, you wouldn’t be able to pose even a tiny threat to me," Mephisto laughed.
"As long as you have even a bit of cognition about me, I can resurrect on you, even if you erase your memory, as long as your subconscious mentions me, it will still take effect, even, as long as anyone develops similar cognition about me..."
"I can be born on you!"
"This is the ’Mephisto’ curse on you!"
Like an eruption of last words and disasters, Mephisto spoke unrestrainedly about the principle of his existence, not caring at all about Xue Dili’s understanding of its information.
Because for it, there’s no countermeasure, no matter what way Xue Dili adopts, he can’t erase the subconscious, even if completely amnesiac, even if his entire brain is completely destroyed.
As long as even a trace of the original spirit and soul exists, in the deepest consciousness, there would still be traces of Mephisto, he could reincarnate on Xue Dili, even if given enough time, he would certainly "possess" Xue Dili.
"By then, everything of yours will be mine, your family, your lover, your children, your strength, everything and everything of yours will be mine, you will die more miserably than anyone!"
Mephisto’s curse still echoed in the deepest parts of his heart.
"Unless you completely die, even a trace of spirit and soul completely obliterated, then you could kill me, but would you dare? When you schemed against me, did you expect such a day?"
It’s not really Mephisto, but this memetic creature at this moment has completely inherited all of Mephisto’s characteristics, it kept taunting Xue Dili recklessly.
The hatred that goes deep into the bones, as if the real Twelfth Apostle is about to resurrect within.
