Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 518 The Equation of Absolute Failure and the Ointment of Absolute Self-Destruction
Zarathustra's spiritual intuition went wrong the instant Estádio entered the equation.

On the one hand, His spiritual intuition told Him that everything was as usual and that the surrounding environment was how it should be.

But on the other hand, His spiritual intuition was telling Him that He could not trust His spiritual intuition.

It mainly focuses on the interaction between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

In a sense, it's close to the beginning.

Or even something resembling a squid?
Although it seems like there's still a long way to go, in reality, only a dozen seconds have passed since the two started fighting, and the archangel has already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Zarathustra did not stay behind and chose to go all out.

Zarathustra's body suddenly swelled, twisted, stretched, and wriggled...

Zarathustra instantly transformed into a mythical creature, becoming a vortex composed of countless transparent worms, from which extended slippery tentacles covered with strange patterns.

This is the complete mythological biological form of the diviner's approach.

Released by Zarathustra's true form, it can easily pollute a city simply by appearing.

There is no need to see, hear, or even be known.

He is the biggest source of pollution here.

Estádda is not a mythical creature, Zarathustra can be certain of that.

Zarathustra knew it the moment he first saw her.

Estelle is not even a demigod.

Therefore, simply revealing the complete mythical creature form is enough to corrupt Estella in an instant.

It's as simple as polluting an ordinary person.

but……

useless.

The contamination from the mythical creatures failed to harm Estella.

Zarathustra's spiritual intuition guided him to look at the robes on Estád's body.

It was a magnificent battle robe woven from a shawl of gold threads and purple starlight.

A wondrous object, the "Robe of Pure Beauty," which banishes all defilement from the outside world.

Estelle herself responded by taking out a silver triangle and tapping it lightly.

In the era before the fall of "Order" Taiyi, when some planets achieved astonishing progress in civilization, auspicious omens would come from afar, accompanied by chants like divine blessings. The scales within these chants were not limited to octaves, and the harmonies could always combine to create new modes, never repeating. The extraterrestrial choir, worshipping this infinitely changing yet eternally "ordered" melody, attempted to create a triangular roll instrument to depict its infinite scales.

And this is one of its achievements.

[Triangle Roller].

The biggest difference between it and an ordinary triangle is that it has a deep blue quantum state, and the sound it produces when struck is a sound of infinite superposition of order.

Ding……

A series of overlapping yet crisp tapping sounds rang out.

The anomalies that occurred in this region due to Zarathustra's mythical creature form were suppressed, and order returned from chaos and distortion.

Estelle had spoken with Audrey and knew that the underlying logic of the extraordinary abilities in this world was "chaos" and "distortion".

Therefore, attacks from the Order often have unexpected effects on them.

The vortex of tentacles in front of Estella spun rapidly and opened quickly, with slippery tentacles reaching out towards her.

But she simply reached into her pocket, and a square cassette appeared in her hand.

With a smile, Estádio inserted the cassette into the virtual light screen in front of her.

Just like the previous few codes, the chuck starts to digitize from the part that contacts the light screen. As Estella pushes it forward, the three-dimensional chuck transforms into two-dimensional code.

[Punk achieves balance]. The effect is to enhance the weak and weaken the strong.

Without a doubt, Estella, weak, pitiful, and helpless, who could only barely rely on external forces when facing an angel, was undeniably a weakling.

As such, the surrounding data will continue to develop in a direction favorable to Estádio and unfavorable to Zarathustra.

boom!
The ground beneath her feet shifted rapidly, cracking open and a small mound rose up. Estella lost her footing and fell to the ground, narrowly avoiding the tentacles' grasp.

Beside her, a white plastic tube that had just been used slipped from her hand and was casually tossed aside.

That was a miraculous substance called Felicis, invented by Ms. Black Tower.

She had already blessed herself with good luck before the fight even started.

Jingle Bell.

A bell rang.

It rang out from all directions.

The surrounding virtual screens, which were originally playing various advertisements, suddenly changed their display to a black alarm clock.

Cuckoo clock.

Divination clock.

Clearly, Estádio knew about Zarathustra.

This is normal; it's common knowledge that referees in the Holy Grail War will be biased.

Alternatively, it can be put in another way.

Money can buy many things, including intelligence on your opponents.

Zarathustra's tentacles failed to hit Estádio. Instead, after being drained, bubbles appeared on its surface, and then the tentacles began to show various colors, twisting together as if they had suddenly shriveled up.

This is a living biological weapon used by the infamous Yepela Brotherhood during their invasion of the Lindgano system. This gene-destroying virus causes infected cells to devour each other within the host, resulting in a horrific scene.

[Plague Nest City].

However, this biological virus was soon contaminated by Zarathustra and lost its original activity.

Zarathustra suddenly realized that he seemed to have made one wrong choice after another, missing the chance to successfully kill Estádina time and time again.

The moment He realized this, He suddenly saw a dark purple mist that had been permeating His mind dissipate.

[A prescription for absolute failure].

This is a prescription created by the Chaos Physicians to curb war. Its effect is to create memes and interference, making it impossible for the user to achieve their desired goal no matter what.

Zarathustra had been infected without anyone knowing when.

Zarathustra then remembered that he could manipulate the threads of the spirit, use miracles, perform grafting, and bring the “prototype of the divine kingdom” to this world.

Instead of foolishly acting like a tentacle monster and only knowing how to hit people with its tentacles.

Upon activating his Spirit Threads vision, Estádio appeared to Zarathustra as a mannequin composed of data.

Just as He was about to send His nascent divine kingdom here, He sensed that the surrounding space seemed to have become strange and flat.

However, it is difficult to describe the feeling when you are inside the space.

【Dimensional Reduction Dice】.

Nine six-sided dice form this peculiar triangular prism, capable of continuously reducing its own dimensions, thus existing in a three-dimensional world as a two-dimensional plane. Who created it and for what purpose remains unclear.

At this moment, Estádio inserts the cartridge into the dimensional dice, which transforms Zarathustra into a thin paper figure.

Then, she threw the paper figure into a black paste.

【Absolute Self-Destructing Ointment】.
