Ring of Fate

Chapter 1074 Fooling
After being instilled with countless knowledge, the figure of the Fool froze for a moment, and his head exploded, transforming into a large number of twisted worms.

The worms disappeared quickly, leaving behind only a pair of black gloves and a cane inlaid with many stardust.

In the thin mist that permeated the top of the mountain, another figure fell down. It was still the Fool wearing a black windbreaker and a half-top hat.

The black gloves and the stardust cane were instantly back under his control.

Just now?

That was just a historical projection!

On the black shadow that the Hidden Sage had transformed into, the distinct black and white eyeballs began to rotate, reflecting the figure of The Fool again.

At this moment, He wanted to escape.

This is not to say that He does not have the courage to destroy His current body and to revive by relying on the information that was backed up in advance and hidden somewhere else. Considering the uniqueness of His activation, this is not too painful.

The reasons that prevented Him from making this choice were:

In order to receive the uniqueness of the designated backup information, the "Hidden Sage" must make an independent choice and activate it before his death. The activation may be tracked and located. As the embodiment of mystical knowledge, the "Hidden Sage" certainly knows what the enemy in front of him is good at. What role can the dark barrier that blocks the entire unknown land and the thin gray mist that permeates the barrier play?

If not activated, the uniqueness will naturally transfer to the nearest backup information, following the principle of proximity. The "Hidden Sage" also hides a backup information in this unknown place.

——When He first made such an arrangement, His idea was that if a strong enemy came in, He would rely on His preparation for resurrection twice to try to drive the opponent away and hide again, or kill the opponent on the spot and reap the spoils. If He failed to win after two resurrections, it meant that He really could not win, so He would take advantage of being killed for the third time and resurrect in the backup information hidden somewhere else to completely get rid of the entanglement.

In other words, the "Hidden Sage" is not in a panic now. If he dies twice more, he will be able to truly escape from this unknown place and will not be tracked, and will enter a hidden state again.

His current plan is to try to fight back, and if that fails, then wait to be killed instead of self-destructing.

——Information will be lost, attenuated, erroneous, and chaotic during the continuous backup. This is determined by the underlying laws of the entire world and is the embodiment of symbols such as error, decay, and increased entropy. Every time the overall information is backed up, the probability of problems increases and the possibility of hidden chaos increases. If the "Hidden Sage" uses the fourth piece of information to revive, some hidden errors may appear, and the enemy on the opposite side symbolizes "error."

In this matter, self-destruction will lead to a more significant decay of information and increased confusion than being killed by others, because it starts from within, from the negation of self-consciousness.

New illusory symbols appeared in the black and white eyes of the Hidden Sage, which reflected the figure of the Fool.

They are not complicated, just simple numbers.

One is "0" and the other is "1".

In the understanding of the "Moss Ascetic Order", each number has spirituality and its own symbolic meaning.

Of course, numbers do not have direct power, but they bring corresponding mystical directions.

One of the core abilities of the Hidden Sage is to give power to numbers, giving them real, unique, and much weaker symbolic power than the original!

Among them, "0" represents chaos, the unknown, and the period before everything happened; "1" represents the beginning, the beginning, and the creator who created this world.

Those clearly black and white "0" and "1" in the eyeballs suddenly changed.

They connected end to end and flowed rapidly in the transparent tunnel formed by eyeballs, from "0" to "1", and from "1" to "0", from nothing to something, and from something to nothing.

With the appearance and flow of "0" and "1", this unknown land quickly became transparent.

Whether it was the object itself or the dark barrier and thin gray fog that blocked it, all of them presented countless "0"s and "1".

They are composed of these two numbers!
The figure of the Fool also undergoes similar changes. On his face and in his gloves, small insects, some transparent, some dazzling, and some with links, crawl out one after another. Upon closer inspection, these insects are all made up of entangled strings of "0" and "1" numbers.

Under the influence of the "Hidden Sage", a large number of "1"s are turning into "0". When "0"s occupy the vast majority, this digital world will completely return to "nothingness", collapse and disappear, and will no longer be able to stop the escape of the "Hidden Sage".

Even the Fool himself will be affected, making it difficult to locate and track him in time!

Suddenly, the figure of The Fool disappeared.

He appeared in the sky filled with digital mist, and stabbed downwards with the stardust cane in his hand.

Silently, the dark barrier that blocked the unknown land collapsed inward, causing the thin gray fog and the unknown land to collapse inch by inch, producing one horrifying space-time storm after another.

The "Fool" has brought this digital world into destruction ahead of time.

The raging space-time storm swept towards the "Hidden Sage", and the disintegration and collapse around it also spread to this evil god.

The "Hidden Sage" was not surprised but happy.

Such destruction not only destroyed the last backup information that He had hidden in an unknown place, so that He only needed to die once more to truly escape the pursuit of "The Fool", but also caused the blockade to disappear, making the situation chaotic. Even if He escaped directly or activated the corresponding backup information in advance, He would not have to worry about being located!
The "Hidden Sage" with countless black and white eyeballs allowed the collapse of the world and the tearing of the space-time storm to fall on himself.

He was immediately reduced to waves of transparent and illusory information.

All of this information was tinged with a barely visible crimson tint.

Just as the Hidden Sage was about to be annihilated and resurrected at the hidden backup information, the Fool on high suddenly reached forward with his left hand that was not holding the Stardust Cane.

when!
The sound of an ancient bell that traveled through time and space echoed in a world that was about to collapse completely. On the huge and illusory stone wall clock, the jumping hands were held down by a black hand again.

Whether it was the raging dark storm or the collapsing mountains, rift valleys and seas, they all froze in an instant, as if they had become photographs.

In such a scene, the only ones who can still move are the "Fool" and the "Hidden Sage" who has collapsed into multiple pieces of information but has not yet completely disappeared.

Mr. Fool did not include the Hidden Sage in the scope of the time stop!

The black windbreaker on his back was lifted up, and the face under the black hat became dim and unclear.

"Fool"!
In the wilderness, Lumian, who received the prompt, took his cell phone and jumped into the mist that completely filled the sunken hole.

This secret passage had long been "grafted" to an unknown place where the "Hidden Sage" was.

As Lumian's figure emerged in the destructive scene that seemed to have been paused, the "Hidden Sage" who had split into multiple pieces of information and instinctively wanted to escape suddenly sensed something.

He sensed the breath of the Son of God.

"No, that's the breath of the 'Great Mother'!

"The Great Mother has come to save me!"

The information from the Hidden Sage quickly rushed to Lumian, who was not wearing a hood and had a bright face.

Not only did He feel that He was saved, but He also believed that there was a possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Now that the “Great Mother” has personally taken action, what else can’t happen?
Lumian raised his right hand and turned the front of the phone, with the screen lit and the mini program displayed, towards the front.

At this time, "solidification" has reached its limit and destruction continues to advance.

The information about the "Hidden Sage" therefore surged even more crazily.

Affected by the evil god's aura, status and current state, Lumian's fair and smooth face had its skin torn off inch by inch, and pieces of flesh and blood began to wriggle, with black and white eyeballs about to grow out.

This is both pollution and impact.

Lumian did not flee, nor did he abandon his phone. He just stood there quietly, enjoying the pain of his body and the pleasure of his soul.

The residual aura of the "Blood Emperor", the seal of the "Underworld Man" and the black "pinhole" in his palm have been activated, and his mind began to become confused, as if he knew a lot of knowledge that he should not know.

The corners of his mouth were raised, with two distinct black and white eyes.

He looked at the transparent information of the "Hidden Sage" that was rushing towards him and smiled brightly:
I'm coming to find you!
I told you I would come find you!

Pieces of flesh and blood began to fall from Lumian's body, all with black and white eyeballs, but he did not move, still tightly holding the mobile phone made by the "God of Steam and Machinery".

Finally, the information from the "Hidden Sage" reached its destination.

Lumian immediately pressed the run button of the "Information Crushing Box" applet.

The surface of the mobile phone suddenly became dark, absorbing the remaining light and information without physical support in the surrounding area.

The "Hidden Sage" suddenly woke up, but it was too late. The mobile phone seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool, sweeping up all the transparent and illusory information that He had decomposed into.

Seeing this, Lumian no longer held on and ignited his contaminated self with the "Fire of Destruction".

As the black flames that bound madness and repression burned fiercely, he turned into ashes with a brilliant but terrifying smile.

In reality, he died.

The contamination spread to the mirror, and he in the mirror also died.

Only the sleeping mirror that had been hidden in advance by the "secret" power was not affected.

The screen of the mobile phone lit up again, and the illusory light composed of complex information tried hard to get out and escape from control.

The "Fool" in a black windbreaker and a half-top hat landed in front of the phone and Lumian's "Traveler's Bag", with an unknown land behind him that was still collapsing and destroying.

The Hidden Sage cried out in despair and fear:
"Let me go! I will be loyal to you!

"Let me go please!"

The Fool said in a cold but gentle voice:

"You've hurt too many people."

He picked up the cane inlaid with many stardust and pushed the "Hidden Sage" who tried to struggle out of the "Information Crushing Box" back into the mobile phone screen.

From deep within the phone came a creepy sound, as if a monster was gnawing on human bones.
