Chapter 661: Chapter 305: Twin Swords Unite, A Century-Old Problem_2

But just then, the Power Angel suddenly ascended and disappeared!

"What?" Lester was startled, followed by a tremendous force from Big White Shark that pushed him forward.

Lester looked back in horror to see Big White Shark and Mandala packing up their cards and turning to run, vanishing into the corridor in an instant.

"Fuck!"

Lester’s scalp tingled, and he dared not recall his own cards, letting those two Authority Angels fight desperately to hold the line.

He too dashed at full speed into the corridor.

However, how could he dodge the attack of the Energy Angel?

Without the protection of the Power Angel, Lester was vaporized in an instant, ground into sauce, his body reduced to airflow.

Only his armor and weapons fell to the ground.

He was dead, yet his two cards were still in battle.

The two Authority Angels, still obeying their last command, continued to defend the entrance of the corridor.

Aside from their original owner, no one else could reclaim someone else’s cards.

Therefore, Gao Xin and the others had no choice but to completely shatter the two Authority Angels, destroying all of their Intelligent Mechanism Modules.

The scattered materials were collected by the angels of Gao Xin and Sivina, absorbed into their bodies to repair the damage from the recent battle.

Yes, angels can devour each other for repairs.

Theoretically, if three Hidden Dragon Angels allowed themselves to be devoured, they could instantly restore a Sub-dragon Angel from near-death to full health...

In this battle, while the scattered mechanical wreckage wasn’t as effective, Gao Xin’s angels were not so severely damaged as to be near death.

To the naked eye, it was evident that Gao Xin’s Energy Angel had been completely restored.

And Sivina’s seven Authority Angels were also largely back to normal.

"Whoosh!" Gao Xin retracted his Energy Angel and chased straight into the corridor.

"Hey! Tai Sui!" Phoenix exclaimed in surprise, but was unable to stop him.

Sivina wanted to follow, but three players were already inside, and the fourth could not enter.

"Tai Sui doesn’t plan to take advantage of the victory to fight one against two, and finish them off, does he?" Li Fengqing said with concern.

Li Fengqing was very aware of Big White Shark’s strength; if joined by Mandala, it would be impressive for Gao Xin to last ten minutes.

"He probably wants to resolve the opponents in one fell swoop with the Sub-dragon card," said Phoenix.

Li Fengqing said, "But Mandala also has a Sub-dragon card, and although it’s heavily damaged, the odds of victory are still uncertain."

Phoenix was puzzled when, suddenly, Gao Xin emerged from inside.

"That was quick! Did you kill them?" everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Gao Xin shook his head, "No, I just went in to draw two cards."

"..." Everyone was speechless.

As it turned out, just as Gao Xin entered, it was time to draw cards.

Everyone in Black Emperor Main City drew cards, and as a Black Emperor player, if Gao Xin drew cards on the spot, he would only get one fixed True Tiger card.

Gao Xin already had a True Tiger card, so he went next door to draw two random cards.

Meanwhile, next door in the stronghold of the Black Emperor Right Wing.

Big White Shark and Mandala were out of breath; they had been startled when Gao Xin suddenly chased after them.

They thought Gao Xin was going for broke.

Mandala immediately deployed the Power Angel, only for Gao Xin to leave again.

"Phew, good, good. A maximum of three can enter; he could only come in alone."

"If both he and Yak had come in..."

Mandala’s eyes trembled with fright.

Big White Shark said with some disdain, "I never thought that Mandala would be scared witless by a mere Tiger Level."

"I’ve faced life and death countless times till today; if the day comes when I’m meant to die, then I will die!"

Mandala growled, "You know nothing, you have no idea how terrifying it was when Tai Sui and Yak joined forces to crush me."

"It’s a feeling... hard to describe, despair... pure, unadulterated despair."

"Apart from supreme power to forcefully resist, there was no solution at all."

"It wasn’t just despair at the time, when I think back on their coordination, it still fills me with despair!"

"No matter how many times I replay it, that’s a situation I could never reach or solve in my entire life."

He let out a lot in one breath, venting the despair inside.

Big White Shark was even more baffled, "What the hell? I know both of them have Mythical Level consciousness."

"But even if it’s extraordinarily exquisite, you’re exaggerating too much."

"Is there really something that once you see it, you’re convinced you won’t be able to solve it for the rest of your life?"

"Have you completely collapsed mentally? Turned it directly into a shadow?"

He was very disdainful. Mandala spoke as if he’d never be able to solve it in his lifetime, outright denying his own future. Was that even possible?

But Mandala insisted seriously, "I’m not afraid of death, and I haven’t gone mad, this fear... it’s a feeling of suffocation..."

"How do I even describe it to you... It’s like... right, mathematics!"

"Facing the combination of Tai Sui and Yak is like having the Riemann Hypothesis thrown in your face and being told to solve it immediately or die..."

Big White Shark scratched his head, "What’s the Riemann Hypothesis?"

"..." Mandala was at a loss, scratching his head. He tried hard to make Big White Shark understand his feelings, but couldn’t find the words.

Eventually, he sighed, "It’s a century-long problem. The moment you see it, you feel despair, towering over the intelligence of all humanity and utterly insoluble."

"Even understanding the problem itself is beyond most people, who could study it for a very long time... let alone solve it."

"You don’t just know you can’t solve it now; you also realize that you might never solve it in your lifetime."

"The people around you, your descendants, generation after generation, might grapple with this issue and still never solve it!"

Mandala gesticulated wildly, leaving Big White Shark confounded.

What kind of move was so terrifying? Just one look and you feel you’ll never solve it in your lifetime, nor will your descendants, generation after generation?

It became a conundrum for human civilization?

"Is it really that mysterious? What’s this about a perfect synergy of swords, what about the Riemann Hypothesis, can’t AI solve it either?" Big White Shark was resolute in his thinking.

Mandala replied bitterly, "The Riemann Hypothesis, AI indeed solved it."

"But... Tai Sui and Yak, they both have beaten Themis!"

"Even Themis was confounded by the problems with them, I don’t know what they are, profound and mysterious..."

"But I have felt it... No wonder, no wonder AI is so obsessed."

"This isn’t an ultimate challenge that mere mortals can solve."

His gaze wandered, and his words finally began to make Big White Shark understand.

After all, not even Themis was able to unravel the consciousness of these two individuals, Tai Sui and Yak.

Was Mandala struck by some unimaginably powerful battle consciousness?

Big White Shark felt dazed and then his gaze hardened, "Is there really a consciousness that strong? I don’t believe it!"

"Look at what you’ve become? Afraid of what, hammer? Once you’ve done something, don’t regret it, if death comes, so be it!"

Mandala recomposed himself, sighing, "I told you, I’m not afraid to die, and it’s not that I fear them... it’s that..."

"I’ve had to deny everything about myself, my entire life’s experience and pride, all ludicrously trivial in the face of this challenge. Do you understand?"

Big White Shark fell silent. So, it wasn’t fear, but just pure self-torment?

What sort of experience was that? The perfect synergy of Tai Sui and Yak’s swords, to undergo that experience and even just to think of it, would all the pride from a life of battles simply vanish? Directly negating all past experiences?

Desperation enough to confidently say ’generations of humanity won’t solve it’... that sort of nonsense...

If that’s true, then naturally, the more powerful and proud one is, the more painful it becomes.
