#669 - 658 How to Kill the Prophet
Watching Shenxiao avoid his attacks with uncanny prescience, and continuing to destroy the defensive psychic walls he had painstakingly built at an alarming rate, Ma En also began instinctively reinforcing his defenses, his mind racing as he wholeheartedly considered how to win this battle.
First, he definitely couldn't defeat Shenxiao.
This was the conclusion Ma En immediately reached after confirming that the current Shenxiao could foresee the future.
This idea crashed into Ma En's mind with unstoppable force, and while thinking like this might not be a problem elsewhere, it was extremely dangerous in the mental world.
Shenxiao seemed to sense this as well, and her movements paused slightly for a moment.
However, nothing happened.
Because although Ma En genuinely agreed that he couldn't beat the Shenxiao before him, he didn't give up hope of winning, and his spirit didn't waver in the slightest.
Because while Shenxiao couldn't be defeated in this kind of battle, from a more macro perspective, Shenxiao wasn't as invincible as she was in direct combat. Of course, she was still very strong from a macro perspective. Prophecy was a power with almost no blind spots or loopholes, and it also had extremely difficult-to-overcome characteristics.
After all, logically speaking, the more macro the situation and the longer the time, the better the prediction ability could be brought into play. Therefore, on a macro level, it was also very difficult for anyone to break Shenxiao's prediction with brute force.
But Ma En had already thought of a clever way to crack the power of prophecy.
Actually, it was very simple. When facing this kind of power that transcends time, there was no need to talk about fairness.
Since you can't defeat it in the present, why not borrow power from your future self?
This was also a trick the Federation had used when imprisoning Shenxiao. The specific way to achieve this was to turn the future that Shenxiao was realizing into a future she didn't want to realize, or to make you and the future she wanted to realize coincide.
The Federation had once used nuclear blackmail to bind Shenxiao's victorious future to the future of world destruction, making it difficult for Shenxiao to approach the future of victory that was originally within her reach.
Similarly, Ma En had also thought about ways to kill Shenxiao and other prophets. When he first thought about this question, he was mainly thinking about how to deal with other prophets similar to Shenxiao.
But he also thought about how to kill Shenxiao, which was also very simple...
Just bind the future of saving the world to her death.
If he was facing other prophets, he might not even need to go to this extent. As long as he made those guys more afraid of the future of living than death, they would stop opposing him and take the initiative to show up in public to end their lives in order to prevent the future they didn't want from arriving.
So if Shenxiao saw that the world would be saved after her death, and that if she were still alive, it would only lead to the world getting worse and worse, then Ma En believed that the Shenxiao he knew would not hesitate to die.
And the avatar of Shenxiao's power in front of him would also be willing to surrender, although she was more evil and cold-blooded than the real Shenxiao, her purpose was also to save the world.
Although this Shenxiao in front of him wasn't kind, she was still pure.
And the real Shenxiao might even be particularly happy because she could finally realize her wish, and unlike other people who gladly die for their ideals, she could even 'see' what the ideal future would look like.
But there were two problems with realizing this method, that was, if someone would save the world, then he wouldn't try to kill Shenxiao. Of course, you could also use this countermeasure in another way.
The Federation took this approach at the time. If Shenxiao hadn't lost at the time, then the world would have taken several steps towards destruction. There didn't need to be a perfect option, you could also force people to make a choice.
But the Federation's approach also had flaws, that was, they couldn't kill Shenxiao with this trick, because if they really wanted to do this, then even if Shenxiao died, it would be difficult for the world to get better.
A group that wants to kill Shenxiao can't make the world better.
Of course, the Federation wasn't such a group, because they didn't actually intend to kill Shenxiao.
In short, if it really came to that point, Shenxiao might choose to fight to the end and take a gamble. Fortunately, this was just a problem that needed to be solved, and Ma En's purpose wasn't to kill her.
Ma En wanted to destroy the avatar of Shenxiao in front of him.
But here he encountered the second problem.
He could create some kind of future mechanism. If Shenxiao's avatar stopped attacking at this time and helped him retrieve his memory, then he would decide and insist on saving the world in the future. And if she kept attacking and allowed him to survive, then he would decide and insist on preventing Shenxiao from saving the world in the future.
This was theoretically the best countermeasure, but unfortunately Ma En couldn't do this, because if this countermeasure was to take effect, then he had to strictly implement this decision.
Even if this decision seemed meaningless and useless.
Because he couldn't think about this problem in linear time.
Suppose this mechanism didn't take effect at this moment, but in the end he did survive and defeat Shenxiao's avatar, then he still had to save or destroy the world. The former was slightly easier to say, but the latter was almost impossible.
Because he had already won at that time, how could he still destroy the world.
Although it was a bit strange, even if the mechanism didn't take effect at this moment, he still had to destroy the world.
If he couldn't do this, then it meant that as long as the mechanism didn't take effect, he wouldn't destroy the world, then as long as Shenxiao ignored this mechanism, she could easily crack it, and this mechanism wouldn't take effect.
This was a paradox, unless he could take some kind of coercive measure to make those two futures destined to become reality at the moment he made the decision, otherwise it would be impossible to influence Shenxiao's decision.
In fact, this could be done, and the Federation successfully implemented this trick.
When dealing with Shenxiao, they established a closed system that could no longer be interfered with. Suppose Shenxiao really won in that battle, and at this time, launching a nuclear bomb would only lead to more politicians being killed. Those remaining politicians had no way to stop the launch of the nuclear bomb. They had already given up the opportunity to regret it in reality.
Only this kind of closed system could successfully execute this anti-prophecy mechanism.
In fact, if Ma En was outside, he could also use a contract to do something similar, forcing himself to sign a contract to destroy the world—provided he had the courage.
But in the current situation, it was almost impossible for Ma En to realize this mechanism that transcended time.
Unless he had already forced himself to madly carry out the decision to destroy the world even if the mechanism didn't take effect, he had to surpass his instincts and humanity to achieve such perseverance.
He not only had to think like a madman, but also had to act like a madman.
I don't know if it's easy to understand.
