Chapter 310: Chapter 254: The Philosopher Reappears_2

The Seventh Rule understood too, they had no other means but to act directly.

Therefore, the Seventh Rule said to the Fifth Rule, "Go ahead, we must resolve this with our own power."

"Right..." A gleam sparked in the eyes of the Fifth Rule, "We should have done this sooner!"

Before the words ended, the two great beings had already made their move!

That incomprehensible something was attacking Xiao Yi once again.

At this moment, the expression on Xiao Yi’s face also changed from indifference to seriousness.

Xiao Yi was very aware of how powerful the enemy he faced was, therefore, he had to take this seriously, he could no longer afford to be casual or put in minimal effort.

Hence, Xiao Yi also activated one of the "Philosopher’s" abilities.

That particular ability was:

"Use all talent abilities within the same system to your heart’s content without paying any cost, ignoring the bindings of reality and rules, ensuring the certain effectiveness of that talent ability."

Then, the talent ability Xiao Yi chose to use was...

"Sigh..."

Xiao Yi softly murmured, his lips parting gently like a girl singing:

"Talent ability—[Sisyphus Myth]."

"...What? What’s going on?"

The Seventh Rule and the Fifth Rule suddenly found that their intentions to deliver death to Xiao Yi... had failed.

For no reason and without any process, the result... they just failed.

And Xiao Yi, he still stood there, as if nothing had happened.

"Interesting ability," chuckled the Fifth Rule, and then he rushed forward physically, throwing a fierce punch! "How about this!? Indeed, I still prefer this... Where is your limit, let me see!"

But facing that punch that had the power of a cosmic explosion, Xiao Yi didn’t even slightly move his feet to dodge; he merely stood there silently without any motion.

Immediately following, the attack of the Fifth Rule failed.

"What...!?"

Not only that, the Fifth Rule suddenly realized that infinite versions of himself were continuously launching various attacks at Xiao Yi, each ending in failure and then starting again, repeatedly failing.

And those infinite selves existed in every moment split across the dimension of time.

That is, before now and after now, he had been repeating this process of failure, perpetually repeating this meaningless act of failure, until eternity.

"This is..." Watching his endlessly failing self, the Fifth Rule could not help but be stunned.

"So that’s it." Watching this scene, the Seventh Rule also understood what ability Xiao Yi had used, "All our efforts are meaningless, painful, doomed to fail, and must repeatedly endure this pointless process of pain day after day without ever seeing an end, this is one of the [Sisyphus Myth]’s abilities."

"Hmph, so what?" The Fifth Rule snarled, and infinite versions of himself dissipated, "Such ability, just annul it, we are beings that transcend rules, everything is trivial to us."

After speaking, the Fifth Rule launched another attack at Xiao Yi.

"Yes, indeed." But with the ability annulled, Xiao Yi was not perturbed at all, only chuckling lightly, "Only, if you can annul, can’t I use it again? Anyway, you can’t interfere with my essence."

Before the voice fell, the Fifth Rule had once again started repeating that continuous process of failure.

"Uh...!" The expression on the face of the Fifth Rule had finally seized to be all too easy, slightly congealing, "Such a troublesome matter... truly fitting for a talent approaching the Origin. [Sisyphus Myth], huh? That absurd hero who dared to rebel; indeed, he is difficult for me to handle."

But just when the Fifth Rule was at a loss, Xiao Yi suddenly spoke up, "No, he is not a hero of rebellion."

"...Eh?"

Xiao Yi continued, "...He can only be his own hero because his rebellion is meaningless. His actions cannot free him from the painful process of perpetually having to carry a boulder to the mountaintop, nor can they free him from this world, so he can only be his own hero. He neither submits nor rebels, neither lives nor destroys. As an insignificant person unable to resist, he only mocks the entire world by becoming his own hero. But... you can’t even manage to be your own hero."

"What... are you talking about?" The Fifth Rule stared blankly at Xiao Yi, unable to comprehend why Xiao Yi was suddenly saying these strange words to him.

"So this is what you mean," But the Seventh Rule, having listened to these words, understood the true meaning behind Xiao Yi’s words.

Then, the Seventh Rule slowly said to Xiao Yi:

"The reason people must endlessly repeat the meaningless act of carrying stones is fundamentally because some existences have set it for some purpose—perhaps it’s punishment, or perhaps it’s to gain something.

And people, unable to resist these entities, can only comply and lead meaningless lives, barely surviving through day after day of labor.

However, if people neither obey nor rebel, but simply live their lives through a form of nonviolent non-cooperation, those existences will fail to achieve their goals. Apart from storming in a rage, those entities cannot truly eradicate the people, thus naturally collapsing.

I’ve found the method to decipher the [Sisyphus Myth], and that is to live an ordinary life, neither submitting nor resisting, living for oneself."

As the voice of the Seventh Rule fell, the [Sisyphus Myth] dissolved, never to be effective again.

Fifth Rule, realizing an infinite number of selves merging into himself, understood that Xiao Yi’s ability had deactivated. He exclaimed, "Oh! Worthy of the Seventh Rule indeed."

Xiao Yi also applauded the Seventh Rule, as if in congratulations, "It seems I’ve lost, congratulations, you’ve succeeded, truly impressive."

"..." The Seventh Rule, however, just stared intensely at Xiao Yi and coldly inquired, "What do you mean by this? Why... would you divulge the method to break your talent to us?"

If not for Xiao Yi’s tip-off, the Seventh Rule might have found it challenging to decipher the talent on their own, but Xiao Yi’s deliberate exposition of his vulnerability was like treating them as if he were a superior existence merely toying with children.

This made the Seventh Rule deeply uncomfortable.

In response, Xiao Yi merely smiled, "I don’t have any particular reason, just feel that, we aren’t mortal enemies after all; there’s no need for a fight to the death. Besides, I feel somewhat close to you, since... you are [Blue Sky Appearance]. Heh, [Blue Sky Appearance], hm? A name with no profound meaning, just... significant in its commemoration, quite a nice name."

"What...!!!!?"

As Xiao Yi mentioned that name, both the Seventh Rule and the Fifth Rule showed an exceedingly shocked expression!

Their heart’s tremor at this moment, upon realizing how troublesome Xiao Yi was, intensified a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

"Why... do you know our real name!" No longer maintaining his stoic demeanor, the Seventh Rule shouted: "How much do you know!?"

"Don’t get too excited; I’ve merely guessed it. Beyond that, I am not sure." Xiao Yi said, "Leaving that aside, the reason you act is that you think I’ll hinder your plans, right? Rest assured, I won’t hinder you all since there are many of you on your side, and I’m no match. So, let’s leave it at that..."

But while Xiao Yi was speaking, a hint of chill passed through his eyes.

"Of course, if you still wish to proceed, I must accompany you until the end... I lost this round, so let’s begin the next."

"..."

Listening to Xiao Yi’s words, the previously agitated duo fell silent again.

They clearly understood that, although the [Sisyphus Myth] had been deciphered, that, in essence, was just one of Xiao Yi’s abilities.

They had only managed to extinguish one star in the brilliant sky with great effort, so...

The Seventh Rule and the Fifth Rule realized, Xiao Yi wasn’t proposing a truce but threatening them...
