?Chapter 1157: 360.Escape·Nnd?_2


    “For the Divine Affiliated residing in Outer Space, it is known as ‘Ferryman,’ capable of transferring individual Life Creatures or the Core of the ne from Outer Space to the Barren Universe, or even reversing the movement to a limited extent,”


    “However, for the Deities and Star Gods within the Inner Cosmos and the Supreme Star Pce, it is the most notorious Wanted Criminal, the most elusive smuggler, the criminal. It can freely move within and outside the order of the Supreme Star Pce, not bound by the rules of the Star Pce or the constraints of the three cosmic boundaries.”


    “In the Supreme Star Pce, we call it ‘Escape,’ which is its code name as the Core of the ne.”


    “Escape…” Nnd Lee frowned deeply.


    He had not expected such a name.


    It sounded as if it could perhaps help him leave the Inner Cosmos… <div>


    ...


    But he was uncertain whether the Assassin Angel would allow him to establish contact with it…


    “Your Excellency, can I use this Core of the ne to safely enter Outer Space?” Nnd asked.


    The Assassin Angel, silent for a long time, said,


    “I will tell you the ritual array used tomunicate with it. You can try to contact it, and I also have some questions to ask it.”


    Hearing the Assassin Angel say this, Nnd had a sudden epiphany!


    In fact, the Assassin Angel wanted to establish contact with ‘Escape,’ the Core of the ne, even more than he did!


    Because the true form of the Assassin Angel was, at that time, sealed within the Main Brain Controller of the Artificial Angel Group.


    Seeking help from ‘Escape,’ the Core of the ne, was one of the viable options for the Assassin Angel to make an escape, and it was the most likely one to seed.


    With this in mind, Nnd instantly felt secure.


    But was ‘Escape,’ the Core of the ne, truly behind him?


    Could it be that the Deconstruction Core System was given to him by ‘Escape’?


    Nnd had many questions in his mind but could only suppress them for now.


    Once he established contact with ‘Escape’ using the ritual array, many things mighte to light.


    Nnd thought this, as he continued with his work as usual.


    Once Archelon died, all the Undead ves under hismand copsed, turning into bones or fragments falling to the ground.


    The Energy Center he controlled shut down, urgently requiring someone to take over to ensure that the Signal Tower activation ceremony proceeding in a few minutes would run smoothly.


    Nnd summoned Nolin, who was waiting nearby, to control the Mechanos and press the start-stop button for energy transmission at the Energy Center.


    Beside the button, there was an rm clock made of Undead Materials, ugly and covered with dried Filthy Blood, but its countdown function was urate.


    When the countdown ended, Nolin pressed the button and opened the sluice gate of the Pipe Network.


    “Buzzing—”


    About a dozen Energy Pipelines were activated, transmitting energy towards a distant Signal Tower.


    The entire Underground Space burst into Green Light, each pipeline as bright as a fluorescent light.


    “Nolin, activate the magical runes engraved on the pyramid,” said Nnd.


    “Yes, Sir” Nolin responded.


    As Nndmanded, Nolin engraved the final ‘Magic Theft’ rune on the gem used to receive energy.


    Thus, the Soul Energy extracted from the pyramid now had a destination, forming a one-way flow of energy between the pyramid and the gem.


    All the pyramids were engraved with ‘Magic Theft’ runes, the total number reaching a staggering 1,700,000.


    With so many runes activating to steal Mana, it must have been a magnificent scene…


    Ugh, what nonsense.


    After the runes were activated, Nnd constantly monitored the flow speed of energy within the Energy Pipelines; it had only declined by about 8%.


    Looking at the dozens of Gem Boxes on hand, there was no scene of the Gem Boxes being filled one after another by a deluge of energy.


    The 1.7 million magical runes were merely lighting up the gems in the boxes like sequentially powered bulbs.


    Isn’t this quite different from the anticipated scene…


    No way around it.


    Today’s ‘Magic Theft’ by Nnd was only 20%plete, and the effective radius was merely about 500 meters.


    The entire width of the Soul Factory was over ten kilometers.


    To ensure he could still draw energy from the pyramids at the far edge while remaining underground, Nnd had Nolin engrave many magical runes that acted as energy transfer stations.


    Though it was said that 1.7 million runes were working, in reality, three-fifths of them were merely transmitting energy from afar to Nnd’s vicinity.


    A rune would output 100 units of energy; by the time it reached the next rune, only 20 units were left.


    With such attenuation round after round, Nnd’s speed of energy collection naturally dwindled significantly.


    This was a technical challenge that couldn’t be solved in a short while, so Nnd had to make do for now.


    He gave Nolin a few instructions to keep a close watch on any activity above and below ground, and report immediately if any undead appeared.


    Nolin happily agreed, directing over a thousand Mechanos protected by the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ stationed at each corner of the Soul Factory.


    Seeing that he had nothing immediate to do, Nnd began discussing ‘Escape,’ the Core of the ne, with the Assassin Angel.


    The Assassin Angel, intending to “facilitate” a meeting between Nnd and ‘Escape,’ actively revealed a lot of information.


    The exact age of ‘Escape,’ the Core of the ne, cannot be ascertained—such is the case with all Cores of the ne. Only those born within the Star Pce Barrier have their birth dates urately recorded, like the current ‘Wizard’ Core of the ne.


    ‘Escape,’ the Core of the ne, had never upied the Fire of St. Din, nor had it initiated its own ne Year—because it doesn’t need to, it can steal a part of the brightness from any Core of the ne right under their noses.”
