Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

The Lord of Eternal Winter's "ability" is powerful, so he naturally believes that Banning must also have powerful "ability", but the specific content of his "ability" is not yet clear.

However, based on Banning's various performances after entering the Prison Star World, the Lord of Eternal Winter can now more or less make some speculations about Banning's abilities. The most core reasoning is that "Banning is so weak, but he has successfully escaped several sniper attacks, and even the "One and Only Demon God" could not kill him."

In the eyes of the Lord of Eternal Winter, Banning's multiple escapes were not based on "hard power", but on coincidences. In simple terms, it was just good luck.

So, could Banning's ability be "extreme luck"?

The Lord of Eternal Winter believed that this possibility was very small, because if this guy was really lucky, he would not have lived such a miserable life after three months in the Prison Star World. He should have made a fortune and become a small lord, instead of wandering in the Farnas Empire.

So if Banning's ability has nothing to do with luck, what is his ability?

The Lord of Eternal Winter felt that this could be deduced from "Banning's unusual escapes" as a starting point.

In the eyes of the Lord of Eternal Winter, if Banning had escaped death only once, it could be called luck, but if it happened so many times in a row, it could only mean that "Banning always finds a way to find the only way out in desperate situations."

So, what kind of "ability" allows Banning to do this?

The Lord of Eternal Winter gave three speculations:

1. Similar to the ability to predict the future;

2. Abilities similar to those of the Son of Luck;

3. An ability similar to death replay;

If it was the first or second type of ability, then the Lord of Eternal Winter would be completely capable of it... but with the third ability, the Lord of Eternal Winter had to carefully consider his strategy first.

Because, if Banning possessed the ability of "Death Rewind", killing him easily would not only make him stronger, but it might also expose the Lord of Eternal Winter's own information, putting him in an even more passive position.

8.223 - A Battle of Wits with the Air

The Lord of Eternal Winter did not exaggerate his own strength. The difference in strength between him and Banning was indeed so great that it could render abilities such as "predicting the future" and "luck" powerless.

The first thing the Lord of Eternal Winter needs to analyze is the ability to "predict the future." This type of ability seems powerful, but in fact it has many limitations. The two most influential conditions are "predicted range" and "own strength."

The "predictive range" is easy to understand. Being able to predict the "future one second later" and being able to predict the "future ten years later" are two completely different concepts, not to mention specific details such as whether what can be predicted is "a future point in time" or "the entire future".

To put it bluntly, one of the keys to "predicting the future" is "how much information you can obtain." The more information you can obtain and the freer it is, the stronger your ability will be. However, this is just a "general theory." In reality, knowing more does not necessarily mean it will be more "useful."

Whether the "information" obtained by "predicting the future" can be converted into "value" depends largely on the "overall strength" of the "ability user". Comprehensive strength is the key parameter that determines the effectiveness of the "predictive range".

·

To give a simple and crude example, Xiao Ming is an ordinary primary school student. One day, he gained the ability to "predict the future one year later."

The ability to predict the future is very strong. Xiao Ming can clearly see what he will encounter every minute and every second from this moment to 365 days later, and can also fast forward and rewind and play at multiple speeds. In short, he can see whatever he wants. However, other than that, he is still an ordinary elementary school student.

Of course, this doesn't seem to matter, because generally speaking, having such ability is already amazing enough. As long as Xiao Ming is not too stupid, it won't be long before he can make his family achieve financial freedom, and even get his hands on power.

However, unfortunately, the first time Xiao Ming used his ability to predict the future, he saw that one year later, the earth would be hit head-on by a giant comet and shattered, eventually shattering into dust in the universe.

When that day comes, not to mention Xiao Ming himself, even the astronauts living in the space station will not be spared. The huge impact caused by the world-destroying collision will cause a series of chain reactions, and all living things on the earth will be extinct at the same time, without any escape.

So, facing such a future, what can Xiao Ming, a primary school student, do?

The answer is that he is powerless. Even if he has "such a long" time of one year to prepare, it will still be useless if he relies on his own strength.

But if Xiao Ming is smart and knows how to use his ability to "predict the future" to improve his status, and finally gathers all the top power holders, scientists, inventors and other talents on the earth together to work together to come up with ideas, will the result change?

No, the answer still cannot be changed. The most that can be done is to allow Xiao Ming to take a spaceship and escape for refuge in advance and die later. The future in which the earth will be destroyed will still happen.

In the face of a disaster of the magnitude of a "comet hitting the earth", one year is really too short. It is so short that even if Xiao Ming can unite the wisdom of all mankind to come up with a solution, it still will not be enough.

Nuclear bombing a comet?

Interstellar travel?

It’s not that humans can’t think of these methods, but it’s just that there’s not enough time to realize the immature technology in just one year - after all, until the disaster struck, humans were still clicking on the technology tree of "how to use AI to make pictures erotic", and as for the stars and the sea, that was only the dream of a few people.

·

Xiao Ming's experience is tragic, but that is just a hypothesis.

But Banning is different. He is actually under the threat of the "comet" of the Lord of Eternal Winter.

In the eyes of the Lord of Eternal Winter, even if Banning could predict the future, he would not be able to escape from him, let alone defeat him, because if he really wanted to kill Banning, it would only take one minute, not a year.

Unfortunately, the Lord of Eternal Winter has no way to confirm whether Banning's ability is to predict the future.

After talking about predicting the future, let's analyze the "Son of Luck". The Lord of Eternal Winter is even less worried about this type of ability, because the so-called "luck" is not something that can be used arbitrarily. Behind the luck, there needs to be "logic" to support it.

For example, let's say the Lord of Eternal Winter is about to kill Banning. How can "luck" save Banning from danger? Let's think about it briefly. There are several possibilities:

1. The evil god suddenly changed his mind and stopped the Lord of Eternal Winter from attacking the dying people in the good god's camp;

Second, the "Infinite Demon God" suddenly appeared and stopped the Lord of Eternal Winter for some reason;

3. The Human Alliance's "Three Savior Knights" suddenly appeared, forcing the Lord of Eternal Winter to retreat;

As for the first possibility, the Lord of Eternal Winter felt that it was simply a fantasy. In fact, if this situation really happened, he would really like to experience it.

Could Benning have such a high profile as to have the evil god intercede on his behalf? If that were true, then this "mission" on the Prison Star World would become a huge joke.

The Lord of Eternal Winter also did not think that the second possibility would happen, because as far as he knew, Lord Infinite Demon had no connection with Banning, whether directly or indirectly. Besides, it was still a question whether Lord Infinite Demon could come here to find him.

As for the last possibility, the Lord of Eternal Winter was relatively unsure because he didn't know how well Banning had built his network of contacts in the Human Alliance.

However, even if Banning really had such great kindness that the "Three Royal Knights of Savior" appeared at the same time to protect him, there was no logical support for this to happen, because as far as the Lord of Eternal Winter knew, the "Three Royal Knights of Savior" should all be on the front battlefield at present, and it was impossible for the three of them to return to the rear together.

If they really come, the Human Alliance will definitely collapse on the front battlefield, which is actually a good thing.

To sum up, although the "possibilities" that the Lord of Eternal Winter can currently think of cannot cover all, it is highly likely that "luck" will not be able to save Banning.

What really makes the Lord of Eternal Winter feel wary now is the disgusting ability of "Death Rewind", which is the trouble among the troubles.

It's not that the Lord of Eternal Winter has no way to fight against "Death Rewind". As far as he can think of now, there are at least three ways to make Banning completely lose his ability to move without killing him. For example, he can use the seventh-level magic "Eternal Ice Coffin" to quickly freeze Banning for thirty to fifty years to ensure that he will not die.

The real problem that the Lord of Eternal Winter is worried about now is that since Banning is his parallel world self, his strategic level must be extraordinary. It is very likely that when he realizes that something is wrong, he will commit suicide directly to trigger the "Death Rewind" and not give himself a chance to succeed.

To be even more outrageous, he might even seek cooperation with a magician or sorcerer, and once he is in a state where he cannot die, he will directly self-destruct and forcibly initiate "death rewind".

Therefore, the Lord of Eternal Winter must be extremely cautious to avoid giving Banning the opportunity to obtain information through "Death Rewind".

After analyzing and thinking so much, the Lord of Eternal Winter also considered whether he was thinking too much. Maybe Banning was just lucky and did not have such incredible abilities?

The Lord of Eternal Winter couldn't be so optimistic about this, because in his opinion, Banning's various decisions and actions were all like "stupid" things that only someone with the "ability to reverse death" could do.

8.224 - Speculative Conclusions

On the way from the Prison Abyss Empire to the Human Alliance, the Lord of Eternal Winter roughly understood what Banning had done after he came to the Prison Star World through the information provided by the Sky Ghost and the Earth Ghost.

The Lord of Eternal Winter knows that one never judges a person by what he says, but by what he does and how he does it.

After listening to the reports from the Sky Demon and the Earth Demon, the Lord of Eternal Winter had a considerable understanding of Banning's "essence".

To sum it up in one sentence, Banning's style of action is a contradictory combination of "meticulous" and "reckless". This young man possesses both "meticulousness" and "recklessness", which cannot be explained by common sense.

According to the reports of the Sky Ghost and the Earth Ghost, Banning encountered banditry in Ella Village shortly after arriving in the Prison Star World. Based on the Lord of Eternal Winter's understanding of himself, it is impossible for an egoist like him to take such a huge risk to confront a group of bandits.

A village that has nothing to do with you should just be left to fend for itself. Is there any need to care about it?

However, Banning went to take care of it, and even (suspectedly) wiped out the entire group of bandits!

Later, Banning left the village. Logically, one wouldn't go to a place like Sand Duck Canyon, which was rumored to be dangerous, unless absolutely necessary. But Banning went there again, courting death, and even killed the Shadow Devouring Rock Demon Svalerok, whose strength was far superior to his...

Swallock is a very cautious old bastard. How could even such a guy fall into the gutter? What method did Banning use?

The Lord of Eternal Winter was deeply shocked just by learning this.

He felt that Banning's actions were bizarre enough, but what was even more incredible was yet to come.

·

According to the reports from the Sky Ghost and the Earth Ghost, Banning continued his heaven-defying journey of "overthrowing the superiors" after leaving the Shadou Canyon.

After arriving in Sunny Town, this guy took down the "Red Scaled Giant Snake Splander" who had nothing to do with him in just one night.

Although Spland was only a low-level cadre of the Snake Shadow Society, in terms of strength, he was more than enough to crush Banning, which made the Lord of Eternal Winter unable to imagine how Banning won.

After dealing with Spland, Banning miraculously avoided the second sniper attack from the "Only Demon Lord", and then went to the town of Dris calmly, and easily killed the "Invisible Assassin Kuchi" who was hired by Tiangui at a huge price.

The Lord of Eternal Winter had heard of the name "Invisible Assassin Kuchi". This guy was the best killer among the demons and was said to have never failed.

Although this guy's undefeated record was mainly due to his careful selection of assassination targets, it was also because of this that the result of him being killed by the assassination targets seemed incredible.

After learning about Banning's "deeds", the Lord of Eternal Winter gradually became numb.

In short, no matter how bad and dangerous the situation is, no matter how helpless and hopeless, this guy can always "miraculously" turn things around and win.

Therefore, when the Lord of Eternal Winter later learned that Banning had survived the "Maze·Green Ghost Lair" and that even the Snake Shadow Society's strongest fighter, the "Bloodthirsty Serpent·Orosk", could not kill him, he no longer felt any ripples in his heart.

·

At this moment, the Lord of Eternal Winter stood on the outskirts of the werewolf royal territory, "watching" the War God Goblin, who was created by Banning through some unknown method, leading his troops to stir up a bloody storm in the werewolves' territory, without feeling surprised at all.

It's just Banning's routine operation, nothing surprising.

However, in stark contrast to his almost relaxed attitude is the Lord of Eternal Winter's increasingly rigorous attitude towards reasoning and confidence in his reasoning.

As mentioned before, the Lord of Eternal Winter believes that Banning's style of action is a contradictory combination of "meticulous" and "reckless". Given the premise that "existence is reasonable", there must be some "reason" that causes Banning to always behave in such a contradictory way.

Why does Banning always escape danger?

Why is Banning always so smart in his on-the-spot actions, but so reckless and reckless in his mid- to long-term planning and decision-making?

The Lord of Eternal Winter believes that Banning either has a split personality or has the ability to reverse death.

Given that the observations of the Sky Demon and the Earth Demon have ruled out the possibility of split personality, the Lord of Eternal Winter can assume that Banning is likely to have the ability to reverse death.

When the Lord of Eternal Winter substituted the hypothesis that "Banning has the ability to reverse death" into Banning's previous incredible deeds, all the irrationalities suddenly became reasonable.

Why did Banning take the risk of confronting the bandits? Because if he chose to escape, what would happen next would be even more fatal, while fighting the bandits would give him a glimmer of hope.

Why did Banning choose to die in Shadou Canyon? Because if he had taken a route outside of Shadou Canyon, he would have encountered a more desperate death.

……

Behind all of Banning's seemingly unreasonable mid- and long-term action decisions, there may actually be a "death future" that the Lord of Eternal Winter is unaware of that limits Banning's choices.

In addition, the ability of "Death Rewind" also gives Banning the possibility of realizing "idealism".

Because of the ability to reverse death, Banning can keep trying and failing until he finds a way to break the deadlock.

With this bug-like ability, Banning can challenge even a life-or-death situation, instead of making decisions and taking actions based solely on rationality like the Lord of Eternal Winter.

Take the ongoing "Werewolf Territory" incident as an example. If it were the Lord of Eternal Winter, he would definitely not come to rescue Ice Star Shirley, because the risks far outweigh the benefits. In addition, theoretically speaking, with Banning's current strength, even if he had thousands of lives, he would not be enough to be killed by the werewolves.

But Banning still chose this "irrational route". Why? Because he has the ability of "death rewind". If one attempt fails, he will try it twice. If two attempts fail, he will try it ten times until he reaches the "best ending".

——(Humph, this ability is even more disgusting than cheating.)

The Lord of Eternal Winter sneered disdainfully, showing no joy at having solved the mystery.

He could now fully understand why even the "One and Only Demon Lord" could not kill this Banning, because "wanting to kill someone with the ability of "Death Rewind"" was an impossible idea in itself.

However, the Lord of Eternal Winter has plenty of ways. For him now, the most important thing is to verify his own guess and fully grasp Banning's background, and secondly to ensure that his advantage of "the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark" can continue to be maintained.

Based on this idea, the Lord of Eternal Winter will not take action himself for the time being. As for the "tool" used to test Banning, he has just deliberately lifted the breath concealment for a few seconds and successfully lured the werewolf ancestors over.

·

— (Haha, you don’t dare come here alone, and you have to wait until your companions arrive before you dare to show up... Werewolf ancestors, you really haven’t improved.)

On the outskirts of the werewolf royal territory, the Lord of Eternal Winter sat calmly with his feet up on the edge of a large rock, his eyes fixed on the azure sky in the distance, without even glancing at the 'Ancestor of Eyes, Ain' and the 'Ancestor of Claws, Klauer' who had just fallen from the sky.

At this moment, the two werewolf ancestors were on high alert, their nerves tense and ready to fight at any time, but in fact, they both hoped that the Lord of Eternal Winter would leave obediently and not put more pressure on the werewolf defense forces at this critical juncture.

To avoid a fight, Eye Ancestor Ain controlled his emotions and spoke calmly to the Lord of Eternal Winter, "Your Excellency, Lord of Eternal Winter. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I wonder what brings you to our werewolf territory..."

[Confession death countdown remaining: 8 days]

Above the werewolf territory, in the wilderness outside the werewolf royal territory, a blond man wearing a black smiling mask was sitting cross-legged on a large rock, exuding a sense of relaxation that was incompatible with the tense atmosphere around him.
