Chapter 3379: Using the Time You Created to Defeat You

————The title is already a mess, I'll change it after I finish filling it in~

————It is currently being taken from the outline.

But how could this be!

Not to mention 17 seconds, even if it were only 1 second, Xia Duo would never believe that Dafuni could reverse time; from what he currently understands, it seems the entire world has regressed by 17 seconds.

Just think about it, what a terrifying scenario this is!

One must know that this world is not just the small area of Tanzan Peak, but the entire Northland, the entire Main Plane, and even the entire Universe.

If one were to make Xia Duo believe that Dafuni made the entire world regress by 17 seconds—no, even just 1 second—it would be easier to make him believe that Dafuni is the Lord of Radiance himself.

In a flash, Xia Duo thought of a possibility: since it is impossible for the world to have regressed by 17 seconds, then it must be that he has obtained a prophetic revelation of the next 17 seconds.

Linking this to the inexplicable feeling of Suppression when dueling Dafuni, Xia Duo became even more certain of this guess, but logically speaking, this should have been a prophetic revelation obtained by the opponent; how could he have perceived it too? And even experienced it personally?

But regardless, since he knows the future development, even if it is only a mere 17 seconds, it should be utilized; Xia Duo manifested his form from the miniature Elemental Channel.

Since he did not believe it, this naturally required verification through regression. Xia Duo's method of verifying the reality of the world is very complex; with the help of the perspective of his Personal Space, he can easily discover the essence of the Projection Plane—a wisp of strange spirit from the Astral Plane.

Having made up his mind, in order to let Kandela and the others leave more smoothly, Xia Duo began to feign being an enemy, deliberately letting Dafuni counter a meticulously planned and nearly completed Spell.

However, there is another explanation for such a situation, which is that all the choices Xia Duo made after arriving here were the result of comprehensive calculations combining all his own knowledge and experience with his brain and Computing Power Pool.

And apart from special Magic systems like Elven Magic that allow a Spellcaster to control the Magic Net solely through their own ability, the vast majority of Magic systems achieve control through indeterminate Spell Elements.

There is!

The real cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be real.

At that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a net covering the sky and earth that exhausted all changes, and no matter what he did, he could not escape.

But would this time still be a prophetic revelation?

During the 17 seconds he perceived last time, because it was his first time perceiving and experiencing it, Xia Duo never had such thoughts of doubt, and thus did not judge the reality of the real world.

It is defaulted as real until doubts are discovered.

After things in the Projection Plane are put into the Personal Space, unless the state of Plane Overlap is maintained, they will immediately dissipate; of course, Xia Duo can choose to manifest them at the cost of reducing his Personal Space.

It even made him develop doubts about the reality of this current period of time.

And the failure of this step even caused a chain reaction, making Xia Duo lose out in the battle for multiple Spell Elements, which in turn led to him losing control of the Magic Net in that area.

Perhaps a god could, but Xia Duo truly cannot, and he is very certain that no Mortal Plane Mage he has ever come into contact with could possibly achieve precise control over every Magic Net String.

And no matter what kind of control it is, it is impossible to completely control every Magic Net String of the Magic Net; it is similar to guiding water flow by digging irrigation ditches, yet being unable to precisely control the movement of every water molecule.

Could it be that Dafuni wants to completely suppress him through such a method and then capture him alive? Xia Duo wants to capture Dafuni alive; does Dafuni not want to capture him alive?

In fact, both sides understand that now that things have developed to this state, there is no way to reconcile; it must end with one side suffering total defeat, or both losing—there is no other possibility.

And now, having just experienced those 17 seconds of revelation, Xia Duo cannot help but develop a trace of doubt about the current state, doubting that the current world is not real, and might be another revelation created by Dafuni.

As long as Kandela and the others return to Evereska, he will immediately trigger the Annihilation Light to completely annihilate this place.

Even if an electric field utilizing the polarity of water molecules is used, it is still control at a macroscopic level, and cannot penetrate into every specific water molecule.

And he, just as in the prophecy, first used a shot of Annihilation Light to interrupt the Spell Duel between Dafuni and the Alliance Mages like Kandela, and then shouted to the opponent:

In fact, if there is no doubt, who would be full and have nothing to do but constantly judge the reality of the real world?

Fortunately, Xia Duo's goal is not to escape, let alone to defeat Dafuni; this avatar of his can be discarded at any time, and all he needs to do now is just delay time.

More is achieved through macroscopic control via fields or specific Spell Elements; the epitome of this aspect is the Mythallar.

For a Mage at Xia Duo's level, the essence of a Spell Duel is the struggle for control of the Magic Net.

But Xia Duo still chose to do so, simply thinking of the one-in-ten-thousand possibility of the opponent compromising and surrendering, and to delay time so that the Alliance Mages like Kandela could safely evacuate.

Only after verifying it, Xia Duo could not help but be somewhat stunned, "It actually is real?"

Xia Duo once again felt the feeling of Suppression when dueling Dafuni, and it was even more terrifying than the last time—that feeling of Suppression that sees through all opportunities and blocks all paths of survival.

Fortunately, now that it is confirmed that the world is real, no matter how many times Dafuni has obtained prophetic revelations before, the 17 seconds just now must have been the last time.

Then, as usual, he attempted to prohibit the Spell, and Dafuni also blocked it just as she had in the prophecy; the previous prophecy seemed very precise, precise to the point that the Spell Xia Duo used also seemed to have almost no other choice.

By doing so, she continuously obtained his dueling experience from his side.

Could it be that Dafuni can only obtain a prophetic revelation once? No, judging from Dafuni's previous performance, the opponent has clearly obtained more than one prophetic revelation; it's just that Xia Duo did not perceive those previous revelations synchronously.

It is just unknown whether it was Dafuni's Spell that was inaccurate or Xia Duo's own particularity; in short, the 17 seconds just now, which should not have been known to Xia Duo, were tangibly perceived by him.

And now should be his and Dafuni's last exchange at Tanzan Peak; he has enough confidence to delay until the Elves like Kandela return to Evereska.

"Surrender, this time I won't let you get away again!"

Adding that he arrived here via Arcane Yaoyue to interrupt their Spell Duel with Dafuni, 3 seconds is actually 11 seconds after the 17 seconds of the future in the prophecy.

And the Main Plane, from the perspective of the Personal Space, is a normal Material Plane; things from the Main Plane put into the Personal Space will not dissipate.

And such a result is basically the optimal solution, unless an accident occurs.

According to his judgment, from the time Kandela and the other Elves start to evacuate until they finally arrive at Evereska, it will take at most about 25 seconds.

Is there an accident?

At this moment, even though Xia Duo still does not believe that Dafuni can reverse time, he cannot help but doubt whether he has truly returned to the past.

Of course, in the actual verification process, it is not necessary to judge by whether each individual real object dissipates; by integrating the perspective of the Personal Space, a conclusion can be directly reached.
