At first, they thought Onassis was going to fight back, but he didn't. It looked like he was talking to Suyatutai.
Suyatutai also frowned and tried to talk to Onassis.
At first, Suyatutai seemed to be arguing with Onassis. But soon, Suyatutai calmed down as if he had thought of something.
Both Angor and Greya were puzzled by the sudden silence. However, the audience didn't seem to be surprised by this.
In response to this strange situation, Shirley explained, "Actually, it's already much better than before."
It turned out that the seemingly dull philosopher was even weirder than before. Every time a match began, Onassis only needed to say a few words, and his opponent would fall into a state of confusion, which would end the match.
At least this time, Suyatutai was able to make the first move. Angor even argued with Suyatutai for a while before Onassis fell into silence. This was much better than before.
"Why do I feel like he's a Speech Spirit now?" Greya wondered.
"If he's a Speech Spirit, all he has to do is stop him from speaking. But even if he doesn't speak, he can still make people fall into his trap. " Shirley recalled, "I remember there was a case where someone used Silencing Aura to make Onassis lose his ability to speak before he could speak. However, even if that was the case, he had still lost. When someone asked him why, he said that Silencing Aura couldn't stop his opponent from sending messages to him. "
"So, language is only one of his methods. His main method of fighting is to send messages."
"Maybe. But no one knows for sure." Shirley paused. "Oh, right. If he's really using messages, is it possible to completely block them?"
Angor shook his head.
To completely block their opponent's messages meant that they had to completely ignore language, images, smell, pheromones, and so on. It didn't sound like they would fall into Onassis's trap. But if they thought about it carefully, they would find it even harder to defeat Onassis.
It was simple. When you stood in the arena and saw that your opponent was Onassis, you already began to receive his messages. If you completely blocked them and treated them like air, who would you fight?
Shirley suggested another idea. "What about using a large area of effect attack to bombard the arena? That way, we can refuse to accept the other party's information. "
Because this was an arena, there was a limit to the range of the battles, so it sounded like Shirley's suggestion would work.
Greya pointed at the stage. "Don't forget, Su Yatutai used Tidal Wave to cover the entire stage. He must have thought of this as well. However, it didn't work. "
Shirley sighed. "It looks like it'll be very difficult to beat him."
In the arena, Suyatutai was still deep in thought. Onassis did not attack him, but watched him quietly.
Greya moved closer and whispered, "Do you remember what Onassis said?"
Angor nodded. "My existence is only one of the laws governing the combination of matter. And all matter combinations are nothing more than a grain of sand under billions of stars. They are insignificant. Only the heart and mind can contain billions of stars. "
This was the first thing Onassis said after the competition began.
It was also what he had said when facing Suya Tutai's mutated Tidal Wave Technique.
"That's a very philosophical statement." Of course, Greya could read Onassis's words through lip reading. She had a vague idea of what Onassis was trying to say. Also, she had a feeling that Onassis was not afraid of Suyatutai's Tidal Wave Technique because of this statement.
"This sentence comes from 'The World in the Mind', an ancient philosophical classic."
There were restrictions on the circulation of supernatural books in this world, but the works of mortals were not. Even though Angor was born in the distant Old Earth, there would still be cargo ships carrying classics from other continents, including the Fey Continent.
Although The World in the Mind was not a masterpiece, it was very famous in the field of philosophical speculation. Angor read it once when he was a kid.
The book contained a lot of content, but for Angor, the most important thing was: Who am I?
Who am I? This was a famous question in philosophy. Many philosophical speculations liked to extend from this sentence, and this book, The World in the Mind, explained this question through "the material universe and the spiritual world", "the small and the great".
Angor gave a brief explanation of the book and said, "Basically, Onassis's statement is about the change of perspective between the body and the mind."
What was interesting was that as soon as Onassis finished speaking, his body seemed to have disappeared and turned into an existing consciousness.
This was why Onassis was not harmed by the Tidal Wave Technique at all. His body was already insignificant, while his mind began to grow bigger.
"Interesting." Greya narrowed her eyes and chuckled.
She remembered that Onassis's second sentence to Suya Tutai was an extension of the first one. "I know you're wondering why I'm unharmed in the Tidal Wave Technique. Because I know who I am. "
The first part was not important. The most important part was "who I am".
Because of this sentence, Suyatutai argued with him about the meaning of "I". This was a philosophical question, and now it was being debated by the "philosopher" and the "philosopher" in the arena. In the end, the "philosopher's" speculation was obviously a notch higher, which made Suyatutai fall into his rhythm and ponder.
At this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted from the audience.
Greya looked at the stage and saw Su Yatutai's body slowly turning dark as if it was losing its color. Su Yatutai's body slowly turned from solid to virtual. But Suya Tutai was not Onassis. When his body was about to return to the virtual world, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
The brief moment of thinking caused great damage to Suya Tutai's body. The pain of almost dying made Su Yatutai recover from the question of "Who am I?"
He forced himself up and raised his head to look at Onassis.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Five years ago, the other party was still a child. Holding a book called "The Pink Elephant and the Colorless Rain," he asked him to teach him philosophy. He gave some vague answers that he did not care about. He might not even know if his explanations were right or wrong, but Onassis accepted them happily.
Back then, Onassis even mocked Onassis's naivety in his mind. How could such a person survive in the wizarding world? Sooner or later, he would be pushed to the shore by the waves.
But now, Onassis had used his naivety to trample on the pride that he had once thought he had.
"I … lost."
As soon as Suya Tutai gave up, the judges floating in the air immediately raised their hands and signaled the end of the match. At the same time, they quickly arranged medical teams to treat Suya Tutai.
Suya Tutai only coughed up a mouthful of blood, which seemed to be a minor injury. However, according to Onassis's previous opponents, if they were not treated in time, their insides would be completely destroyed.
