My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1017 Application is Key
The first time he activated the probability deflector, he only experienced it for less than ten seconds before the drill bit pierced his head, almost killing him without him even knowing why. But Wen Rui didn't think there was anything wrong with his choice.

This high-tech device seems a bit nonsensical; within the probability deflection field, it completely reverses the probability of both friend and foe, making them equal.

If the equipment owner could be immune to the deflection field, then this would be a divine artifact. Unfortunately, all beings are equal within the deflection field, and only the probability is changed; everything else is ignored.

One can't help but suspect that the inventor might be a mad scientist like Old Rui, and that the purpose of creating it was just like when he transformed himself into Old Rui—simply to show off his skills and demonstrate that he could do things that others couldn't.

But Wen Rui thought differently; he believed that this should be a super weapon for the final battle of some advanced civilization.

Imagine placing a probability deflection generator inside a warp missile and firing it at an enemy super fleet. What would happen if the deflection field were activated and covered the enemy forces?
Unless the opponent possesses the same counter-technology to neutralize the effects of probability deflection, even with battleships made of the most durable materials in the universe and Saiyans, the strongest warriors in the universe, as the landing assault team, this fleet will self-destruct in the deflection field.

Probability deflection is not an attack method, but it can amplify the opponent's mistakes infinitely. A series of mistakes piled up will cause even the strongest fortress to collapse from the inside.

"For want of a nail, the shoe is lost; for want of a shoe, the horse is lost; for want of a horse, the rider is lost; for want of a rider, the war is lost; for want of a war, the nation is lost."

The attack of this kind of conceptual weapon cannot be resisted by simply piling up combat power. If you cannot analyze the opponent's technology, you can only passively take the hit, as if you have been attacked by a dimensional reduction attack, and you will be helpless and reduced to ashes.

Even when facing the Super Saiyan army, if the enemy is caught off guard and enveloped in the probability deflection field, even the most powerful super soldiers will die from viral heart disease or some other strange disease like cosmic AIDS.

Or perhaps, due to the increased blood pressure during the transformation into a Super Saiyan, his hemorrhoids ruptured, causing him to bleed to death.

It sounds absurd, but probability deflection fields are what make extremely absurd things appear to be highly probable.

With this technology chosen, Wenrui has added another trump card to his repertoire: the absurd system task combining three teachings has seen its success rate increase once again.

However, using this ultimate weapon effectively is not a simple matter, especially when the imagined enemy is a saint.

Even if the probability field deflector is deployed in the warp missile and can be delivered to the opponent in an instant, Wen Rui cannot guarantee that the Sage will not be able to react in time and be covered by the probability deflection field.

A sage's speed far surpasses that of ordinary immortals. Even a golden-winged roc with supernatural speed, when launching a sneak attack on a sage at full speed, would be easily evaded.

The instant the jump missile opens the hexagonal spatial channel across the void, it is enough for a sage to escape thousands of miles away.

Moreover, sages are almost always passively seeking advantage and avoiding harm on a whim, and even possess a brief ability to predict the future. They can detect any event that is unfavorable to them before it even happens.

Combined with their speed surpassing divine speed, they would vanish without a trace before the probability field even shifted, making them extremely difficult to catch.

No delivery method could possibly escape the detection of a sage's divine sense and send the deflection field transmitter to their side, activating it without their knowledge.

Therefore, there is only one way to trap a sage within the probability deflection field: Wen Rui must use himself as bait, creating the probability deflection field centered on him. Only under these circumstances would a sage, with prior warning from his divine sense, risk entering the area covered by the probability deflection field.

This presents a key contradiction: Wen Rui's situation in the probability deflection field is not much better than that of the Sage. He almost killed himself after testing for less than ten seconds. If he and the Sage are trapped in the probability deflection field together, are they going to have a competition to see who will kill themselves first?

The sage is definitely more resilient than Wen Rui. Even if they both suffer misfortune, Wen Rui will probably be the first to give in.

With that in mind, Wen Rui stopped rushing to open the next mission progress reward chest and began to seriously consider his options. He decided to first thoroughly understand the two technologies he had already obtained before proceeding to the next step.

Don't bite off more than you can chew. If used properly, the Time Reversal Grenade and the Probability Deflector could give Wen Rui the power to rival a sage.

However, the prerequisite is that he must unleash the true power of these two technologies, rather than acting like some immortals who possess top-tier magical treasures from the primordial era, believing that they are invincible with the power of these treasures and rashly attacking the saints.

The predecessors of the Jie Sect, such as the Three Immortal Maidens, the Daoist Master Duobao, and the Holy Mother Guiling, serve as cautionary tales.

According to common sense, the tactic of combining the time-reversal grenade and the probability deflector is that Wen Rui would use himself as bait to lure the sage closer, and then activate the probability deflection to see who would make a mistake first and ruin themselves.

If Wen Rui falls before the Sage, the Time Reversal Grenade will be detonated, rewinding to one minute prior to restart a round of failure probability assessment.

In countless instances of time rewinding, if the sage has even one chance to be defeated before Wen Rui, Wen Rui can immediately shut down the probability deflection field and happily welcome the victory settlement screen.

However, Wen Rui believed that doing so was the same mistake made by those predecessors of the Jie Sect who relied on the power of magic weapons to try to challenge the saints, underestimating the saints' extremely high tolerance for error when facing crises.

The immortality of sages means that even if they commit grave mistakes, they can still bear the consequences of those mistakes.

They are not the kind of weak aliens who can destroy a planet at will but die of heart disease. Even if a series of low-probability events cause all their attacks to fall on him, a saint's full-force blow will only hurt him a little and will not be fatal.

Back then, Laozi gave Tongtian Jiaozhu a hard knock on his crutch. If that crutch had landed on the primordial land, it would have shattered the four continents and three realms. Tongtian Jiaozhu just grinned and that was it.

During the one-minute probability deflection field, a saint can make countless mistakes, but the only constant is that they can never die.

Even if Wen Rui hoards millions or even hundreds of millions of time-rewind grenades and rewinds time and time again, he will never achieve his predetermined goal; he will be the first to die.

Furthermore, with so many time reversals, before the sages could even break down, the timeline of the primordial world would collapse. The final outcome would either be that Hongjun Daozu intervened, or the flashpoint would collapse and turn everything into nothingness.
