The One Who Can Become Awakened and Attain Eternity Is Me, Mo Yi! (Continued)
How could such a terrifying ability exist in this world!
Over the years, Rita has seen quite a few Awakened, but she has never actually met one who possesses time-related abilities. She has only heard about them from the Cultivator Association and doesn't know if it's true or not.
"Wrong--"
Rita, who had retreated back to the starting point, looked at her feet. Each time she retreated to the bottom of the stairs, she was unsure of the position of her feet, or rather, which foot was in front.
If the other party's ability is truly time reversal, then it should be absolutely the same!
Moreover, Rita looked up and confirmed that the surrounding environment had indeed changed.
Seeing that Rita was getting more and more confused and her forehead was covered in sweat, Mo Yi smiled faintly and said, "Teacher Rita, have you ever thought about why humans live?"
Then, watching the other person's futile attempts, he continued speaking to himself:
"People live to overcome fear and inner anxiety, and to put their minds at ease."
"Gaining a prominent reputation, ruling over others, and amassing enormous wealth are all for the sake of peace of mind."
"Marriage and dating are also for peace of mind, to contribute to others, and to pursue love and peace. It's all just to make yourself feel at ease."
"You could say that humans live simply to feel at ease."
Similarly, you serve Schicksal destiny, you fight for 'so-called goodness,' all in order to gain peace of mind—
"But now, your challenge to me for the sake of Schicksal, doesn't that make you even more uneasy?"
At this point, Mo Yi, with a smug look on his face, stretched out his hand and said:
"How about coming to me, and let me grant you eternal peace of mind—"
Rita: "..."
Could it be that I subconsciously gave in to him?
Of course, as an S-rank Valkyrie without any exaggeration, Rita's mind had long been forged into a crystal heart through countless battles, and Mo Yi's words only made her waver for two seconds.
"Only three seconds left."
Mo Yi held up three fingers, pointing at Rita at the bottom of the stairs, and said:
"You have one more chance to try, Ms. Rita— "
"Of course, all of this is in vain; this staircase is a reality you can never reach."
Although Mo Yi's tone was still as calm and slightly teasing as before, it felt oppressive to Rita, making it hard for her to breathe.
These words were practically saying, "I can kill you whenever I want, and you can't do anything about it." Rita had never suffered such a defeat since her debut, and this was the kind of defeat she suffered without even knowing why she had fallen for it. It would be strange if she wasn't under a lot of psychological pressure at this moment.
"Is that so? An unattainable reality?"
Under Mo Yi's barrage of words, Rita stopped in her tracks as she climbed the stairs.
Since I can't climb all the way up these stairs, I'm not going to go any further!
But I'm determined to try again!
After saying that, Rita jumped up to Mo Yi's height as Mo Yi extended his last finger.
Since we can't walk up, we might as well jump up in one go.
Here comes the strongest stubbornness of Rita Losweisse, the S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal!
Rita's final leap was truly unexpected for Mo Yi. He had thought that she would either charge forward or simply give up.
But
"Wood big wood big wood big wood big..."
After shouting his famous line, Mo Yi activated "The World" again, stopping time for four weeks.
Having honed his skills through battles in Gensokyo and received the blessing of the 'True Plant King's' Heart of Nature, Mo Yi can now, even without using the King of Heroes's active skill, Heroic Moment, briefly traverse the limited skills of the Character Card Zilean, Kieran, to unleash the opponent's true power.
Yes, Mo Yi is using right now is to stop time within a range of about ten meters. Of course, in Mo Yi's normal state, he can only stop for about two seconds.
After the pause, Mo Yi pushed Rita back down the stairs not by using the invisible telekinetic power of 'Light of the Heart' to move her down, because the power of the mind is also a kind of energy, and if used, the other party might be able to detect the energy fluctuations remaining on her skin and clothes.
Instead, she summoned her Daughter Xiao Huo, and had the other party move Rita down the stairs before disappearing.
In this way, the other party will not be able to know what happened in those two seconds that she was unaware of!
As for the villainous aura, that's easy to handle. Just have Little Fire use the Light of the Heart to create some cold air, which will cause the temperature to drop rapidly. Rita will naturally feel the coldness constantly penetrating into her pores, creating an invincible sense of oppression.
Faced with Rita's last-ditch effort, Mo Yi paused time again, then summoned the ever-hardworking Xiao Huo moved Rita from mid-air back down the stairs and, without hurting her, helped her get back into position to go up the stairs.
Then—flow, time!
"This?!"
Rita, having gone all out, returned to the same spot. This time, she jumped up but fell back down, which meant that her opponent's ability was definitely not as simple as controlling the stairs. Although she didn't see or feel anything, this was absolutely the most terrifying and powerful ability Rita had ever encountered!
Hegel once said, "What is rational is real."
Although his actions just now were a bit silly, such as pausing time and having his daughter carry the other person back, and seeing the other person's bewildered expression, as long as he wasn't discovered, it was incredibly cool!
"Everything in the world—material existence, spiritual thoughts, and even individual will—is 'real,' and the world is made up of all these realities."
Still in shock, even though there wasn't a real fight, Rita felt much like she had been knocked to the ground by Mo Yi. It was an undeniable defeat. Even in a life-or-death battle, before understanding the truth about Mo Yi's abilities, it was suicidal and there was no chance of winning.
The reality is that the opponent is stronger, and Rita, as the loser, can only stand there and listen to Mo Yi bragging from the top of the stairs.
"As I said before, the top of this staircase is the reality you can never reach!"
"The ultimate power to manipulate all reality in the world at will, to determine whether reality can be achieved, and to reduce all its abilities, concepts, matter, and spirit to zero!"
"This is my awakened ability - the World (World) Requiem."
After hearing Mo Yi's boastful explanation, Rita could no longer maintain her composure. Already suspicious and distrustful from Mo Yi's pranks, she instinctively began to believe him after hearing his plausible explanation for why she couldn't climb the stairs. (Of course, Mo Yi wasn't entirely exaggerating; his "Light of the Heart" likely had this effect, capable of creating and interfering with everything at will. Currently, his power was insufficient; theoretically, it was possible, but in reality, even draining all his energy wouldn't achieve such an effect.)
When people cannot understand something or reality, they will subconsciously believe other people's "nonsense". This is the origin of mythology. If the gods in mythology were to destroy the world at the drop of a hat, Mother Earth would have been blown up long ago. How could it be humankind's turn to be in charge?
Rita looked shocked, saying she didn't believe it, but her body was already admitting Mo Yi's words.
"What?!"
"Your next sentence is—"
The World! Pause, time!
