My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Faust's planting of the bomb at point B, the detonation of the bacteriophage, and all the calculations laid out to get close to this apostle were ultimately just to forcibly pull him into the consciousness space and put him on the same level as his own side.

Xue's Law had conducted countless mental simulations, attempting to see if he could achieve his goal in one fell swoop and kill the apostle directly during a single strike.

This is what he excels at: by plotting against the unsuspecting, then arranging a fight, and finally delivering an unimaginable blow through preparation and intrigue. As Zeus once said, he is essentially a cold and venomous serpent.

By hiding, disguising themselves, and secreting large amounts of venom, they can suddenly appear and deliver a fatal blow when the enemy cannot see them and walks through the nearby bushes. This is their most effective attack method.

However, when facing the Apostles, Xue's Law only has one chance to attack.

How can we achieve victory in one fell swoop in this one and only attack, which may also be the last?
Xue suddenly realized that he couldn't do it with the current methods, unless he used a planet-destroying cannon to completely annihilate the entire planet into cosmic dust, along with the billions of people and civilization on this planet.

But Schere's Law does not do this.

So in the end, they decided to forcibly pull the apostle into this space, and then came the most cruel and bloody arena.

All of the 12 Apostles' abilities serve the mechanism. He is like the most disgusting mechanism monster. Perhaps the other Apostles who compromised with him were because his abilities were too disgusting. They were all illusions, mind games and deception. He was invincible in his homeland. Unless he wanted to die, no one could kill him in his homeland.

The other apostle's goal was population growth, not world destruction. Destroying the world would be a thankless and troublesome task that would bring the apostle nothing, so his actions were left unchecked.

To deal with such a mechanic-based monster, Xue and his team had no intention of greedily inflicting damage. Instead, they planned to forcibly pull him into the Iron Man Arena, where he could not escape or break free. Furthermore, because the illusions and deceptions were located in the consciousness space, Xue, as a half-master of the subspace, could see through them completely, much like a planetary consciousness.

It's like the sorceress who was forcibly dragged into the arena by the Iron Man, losing most of her strength in pulling and deceiving.

Moreover, there is another being here who completely counters Mephisto in terms of mechanics.

It was Faust!
Although Faust never used the fruit of the Divine Tree, almost all of Mephisto's spells originated from Faust. If his stats weren't insufficient, Faust alone could completely overwhelm Mephisto. However, because his stats were insufficient, Faust would never have a chance to rise to the top under normal circumstances.

Now, in this subspace arena, numerical values ​​are compensated by Schrödinger's Law, while mechanics are offset by Faust.

"Welcome to Hell, Mephisto." After performing a bow, Faust laughed, laughed wildly, as if he were dancing, or as if he were playing a violin in the void.

“Teacher… I see. So it really was you who was with me these past few days, teacher…” Mephisto smiled and looked at Faust, who seemed to have come to terms with it and looked at his gentlemanly teacher.

It turns out that the person he's been with these past few days is none other than his former teacher...

He seemed to have returned to that day a hundred years ago, when he had just become a student at the Mysterious Academy and his teacher personally led him in that practical lesson.

"Battles between the mystical are often decided in an instant. If one side's spell is not broken in time, the other side will win instantly. This is the nature of battles between the mystical: cruel and swift."

The words of his teacher from his youth still echoed in his ears. Like all the mystics who followed him, Mephisto, though he was born with mystical powers, found all mystical knowledge and understanding to be like the most beautiful scenery.

These are things I would never have seen in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty!

"So the first lesson I taught you was a spell I created, recorded in the first volume of my spellbook, the Book of Soya, and its name is..."

……

"Domain unfold!" Faust brought his index and middle fingers together, and in the next moment, distorted and eerie markings instantly appeared on his entire body, centered on his fingers, and a circle with him as its radius unfolded.

"Expand your domain!" Mephisto made the same move, and in the next instant, a domain stronger and more terrifying than Faust's was instantly expanded, as if to cover Xue's consciousness space once again.

"Forbidden!" Xue Dinglu directly invoked his control over the consciousness space, thus forcibly suppressing Mephisto's domain. Here, he could only expand his domain to a radius of 50 meters.

Despite being suppressed, Mephisto's domain is real, unlike Faust's illusory domain. Moreover, his domain, just like Xue's Law, is a subspace that he completely controls!
It can be assumed that Mephisto also possesses a consciousness space (subspace), but his consciousness space is temporarily inferior to Xue's Law, which is why it is suppressed.

Within his domain stood a colossal tree that blotted out the sky, against a backdrop of a twilight-like world. The solitary tree stood at the center of the world, but now, with his subspace suppressed by Xue's Law, the divine tree appeared as small as a sapling.

……

It's as if I'm back in the day, remembering the teacher's guidance.

"The realm of mystery—this is the first lesson I'm teaching you about civil war. Mysteries can be neutralized by higher-level mysteries, and their power can also be reduced by a multitude of other mysteries," Faust explained.

"Therefore, the power of this domain is the best defensive spell we can use to counteract and neutralize the spells of other mystics, and it is more powerful than any other defensive spell."

"But teacher, why do other mystics rarely use such a powerful technique? And why is there so little news about it?" asked Harry Alban, who was only 12 years old at the time.

Faust smiled: "Because everyone else who saw this spell died!"

"Teacher, I am the infamous killer of mystics!"

"This is my unique technique, a technique that everyone in this new era must learn. Traditional mystics will be instantly disintegrated by our new-era techniques, dying like wild dogs." Faust smiled, uttering an even more painful truth.

"I established this academy here to pass on this new era's techniques. Those who come here are either commoners or unloved illegitimate sons from noble families, who come here simply to curry favor with me or to place multiple bets."

"But I don't care. I will teach all my students these techniques. I can't change this filthy world. Even if I kill more people, my power is too insignificant to change the world."

“But you can. I am like the setting sun, but you are like the dawn before sunrise. After I die, I hope to see you use your power to change this corrupt and completely controlled world.”

Faust smiled and spoke his philosophy.

The other children seemed to be deep in thought. Just as Faust had said, those who could come to his school were either illegitimate sons of noble families or commoners. True direct descendants of families would not come here to inherit other people's magic techniques.

This is the tragedy of mystical families: only the most outstanding individual can inherit and transplant the ancestral imprint, develop the family's techniques, and directly obtain most of the power left by their ancestors without any effort.

Others either pray for good luck to acquire innate techniques, or they can only try to learn techniques collected by other families and become members who assist the family head.

However, not everyone is suited to the techniques collected by the family, especially those families that are not top-tier to begin with.

Therefore, at Faust's academy, although other nobles knew he would teach these children strange ideas, Faust genuinely passed on his techniques. In particular, as Faust gradually became the world's foremost mystic, transforming from a mystic assassin into the headmaster of a mystical academy, other nobles also coveted the infamous "killing techniques" he possessed.

Before the lesson began, Faust made one last request.

"But, children, the expansion of this field also means a fight to the death, so I do not wish for any of you here to expand your own fields when we meet in the future." He smiled, as if he were joking, yet also as if he were stating his final request.

“Yes, teacher!” all the children said.

At that moment, these people truly became his students.

"Even if in the future, you may disagree on ideas, your families may be enemies, or you may be forced to be enemies, even so, you must promise your teacher..."

"You should not allow your domains to collide with each other..."

……

"Buzz!"

The collision between the two domains unfolded instantly, and Faust's domain shattered into pieces in a flash.

If Mephisto's domain is the subspace he completely controls, then Faust's domain is merely a mysterious area that he has completely analyzed. Any spell that enters his domain will be analyzed and broken by him, thus losing its power.

This is what he once said: the domain is the strongest defensive measure, and he is also the source of the strongest mystic. That is, all spells that enter his domain will be completely analyzed and broken by him. In this small area, he is a god, a state of almost pseudo-omniscience and omnipotence.

Therefore, Faust is the killer of mystics. Any mystic whose domain is covered will have their spells rendered ineffective, but Faust's own spells are unaffected. This is the purest form of spell crushing, which makes him invincible in his own domain.

The only one who can deal with him is someone who also possesses the same domain, and can counteract his spells.

However, the domain is a technique he created himself, so traditional mystics could not possibly be his match. The only people who could truly defeat this genius "mystical killer" were his students who shared his lineage and had learned his domain technique!
This domain made him invincible in the world, made him the nemesis of all mystics, and allowed him to kill other mystics as easily as killing chickens.

But he was still all alone.

His domain cannot expand forever; his power can influence the world, but it cannot change it. His strength alone is far from sufficient.

He didn't have his own faction, so no matter how many times he tried to change the world, he failed because he didn't have a real team and his revolutions were all carried out with the investment of other nobles.

Therefore, he needs to build his own team, students who, with his invincible skills, can truly unite to change the world and for their ideals!
This was his purpose in establishing the academy.

Therefore, the first lesson we taught them was about territory!

"Buzz!"

The clash of domains continued to erupt, and Faust's domain was completely suppressed. Even though this technique was his own creation, his domain was merely a region containing his own mysteries and analyses...

Mephisto's domain, however, is real, a subspace of the same rank as the consciousness space!

When his domain is completely suppressed, Faust will also be suppressed. As a occult assassin, once his domain is suppressed, Faust loses his greatest advantage: his ability to use other spells to attack occultists who cannot cast spells.

Both sides could only react to each other's spells by taking turns, just like traditional mystics.

However, this is a situation that only occurs when they fight one-on-one between master and disciple.

But now, they're not fighting one-on-one, but rather Schrödinger's Law plus Faust, working together to deal with Mephistopheles!

"Hail, past, present, and eternal!" On Xue Lude's chest, the hidden reserve energy of the [Sand of Flowing Light] erupted without any hesitation, and his giant body rose from the ground, but this was not Xue Lude's full strength.

At this moment, the towering divine tree also began to move under Xue's control. This divine tree, which originated from the Cretaceous period and was responsible for the Cretaceous mass extinction, unleashed power and operability far exceeding that of other divine trees.

Xue's Law still remembers that Brinton used this divine tree to create "Zijera" and the four evil spirits.

Now, the branches and roots of the divine tree have grown exponentially, completely obscuring the Destroyer Colossus.

The tree roots intertwined with the giant's body, weaving into the strongest set of giant tree armor, while the branches entwined in his hands, creating a twisted tree branch greatsword.

At this moment, the Destruction Giant, covered in divine tree armor and weapons, stood in the consciousness space.

This is the strongest power of Xue's Law right now.

Shattered! Crushed! Cheers!
The greatsword of the Tree of Destruction in the hands of the Destroyer God unleashed terrifying annihilation energy, and the beam of light shot into the sky, seemingly about to break through this subspace. Then, a huge pillar of annihilation energy descended from the sky, carrying an aura that seemed to cleave the entire space of consciousness apart.

Mephisto immediately tried to dodge the attack. She was not a reckless person, nor would she try to use her domain to withstand such an attack.

"Deflection! Refraction!" Another spell was cast on Mephisto.

This is a technique that can deflect other attacks. If successfully executed, any attack will be deflected from the front, and at most, only a slight aftershock will be absorbed by the domain.

Suddenly, Faust roared, "No deflection allowed!"

His suppressed area suddenly surged.

Mephisto's pupils constricted as her deflection spell was broken. She turned her head sharply to look at Faust, his short hair blowing in the raging wind of annihilating energy.

"Mephisto, all your spells were taught to you by me!"

"Don't even think about skipping class today!" (End of Chapter)
