?Chapter 1240: 396. You haven’t time-traveled_2
The Scroll Angel paused:
“As for your crossing… I regret to say, you actually didn’t cross over.”
“I didn’t cross over? What do you mean?” Nnd Lee asked.
But the Scroll Angel responded with a seemingly unrted point, speaking to the Assassin Angel:
“When I first noticed the sessive disappearances of other angels, I prepared myself for unexpected misfortune.
“Within the Star Pce, the Dragon n has always been like ‘architects.’ No matter what happens, the repair and reconstruction of the Star Pce cannot do without them. <div>
...
“Therefore, I specifically sought out Nyrephale, the White Ancestral Dragon, hoping it would safeguard a portion of my soul. That way, if I were confined to Outer Space, Nyrephale might still be able to find an opportunity to enter the Inner Cosmos and secretly resurrect me, restoring my extraordinary powers.”
“This n ultimately seeded, though the process was extremely convoluted. As all the angels around me left, the Star God had to personally imprison me. He quickly noticed the absence in my soul and knew I had a backup n. Thus, He decisively crushed the remnant soul I left in my original vessel. I met my own death.”
The Scroll Angel gestured, projecting a rainbow light screen around everyone.
The screen disyed an image.
It was from years ago, when Nnd Lee, in the Underground Tomb, used the Rune Staff to help the soul of “Nnd Lee Jarvis” find salvation.
Back then, Nnd Lee inscribed an Undead Rune on the Original Master’s soul with the Rune Staff, and somehow shattered the shackles that the Undead Cult had ced on the Original Master’s soul, allowing him to ascend sessfully into a cluster of rainbow clouds.
The Scroll Angel said:
“About four years ago, Nyrephale began to resurrect me in cooperation with the ‘Wizard’ ne Core. Nyrephale chose Nnd Lee Jarvis of the Tatis Empire as my rebirth vessel, allowing the ‘Wizard’ ne Core to ce both me and my pre-prepared Deconstruction Core System into that body. My memories merged with Nnd Lee Jarvis’s, intertwining our souls.
“In the destiny that Nyrephale wrote for me, I was framed and lost my life, became a Vengeful Spirit in the tomb of the Undead Cult, and then this Mortal helped me with a Rune Staff, sessfullypleting the simplest Ascension Ceremony and regaining the extraordinary powers of an angel.”
The Scroll Angel looked at Nnd Lee and said:
“ording to my original n, the moment I ascended into the Rainbow Light Cluster, I would have taken back the Deconstruction Core System, and you would have lost the System’s help, bing a true Mortal. But I had a change of heart, and I left the System with you.”
“So now you want to take it back, right?” Nnd Lee asked again:
“Who am I, exactly?”
The Scroll Angel said:
“You are you, an independent individual, neither me nor Nnd Lee Jarvis.
“You carry a small part of my memories, specifically those from before I became an angel. During that time, I lived in an urban information civilization, was an office worker with a nine-to-five job, had living Parents, a wife and children, a fulfilling life. You have that part of my memories, but that’s all, you didn’t actually live through my life at that time.”
Nnd Lee looked at the other party, confused:
“Memories… I only possess a small part of your memories… I… I am not a Traveler…”
“Yes, you are not a Traveler,” the Scroll Angel said:
“Apart from a portion of my memories, you also have theplete memories of Nnd Lee Jarvis. The blending of my memories with Nnd Lee Jarvis’s has formed you as you are now. You are a new being, born separated from an intertwining of souls in my resurrection Ceremony. I dislike killing and have no wish to harm a life that helped me resurrect, so I gave you the Deconstruction Core System, helping you be who you are today.”
Nnd Lee tried to maintain a calm voice, but despite his efforts to suppress the turmoil within, his voice still trembled slightly:
“And what about you? What kind of life are you? A remarkable life that has ownership of the Deconstruction Core System, as well as all memories from birth to bing an angel, and then to resurrection? I… I only possess part of your memories and the right to use the Deconstruction Core System, right?”
“Hmm, you can think of it that way,” the Scroll Angel said:
“I know you’re worried now that I might take back the Deconstruction Core System, rendering your current existence null and void. But there’s no need to be so pessimistic.”
The Scroll Angel’s words gave Nnd Lee some hope.
Nnd Lee asked:
“Then what must I give up to retain my achievements?”
The Scroll Angel nodded slightly and said:
“That depends on your choice.”
The Scroll Angel gestured again.
This time, the screen’s image shifted from a soul ascending into the rainbow clouds to a vista of the Starry Sky.
“Following the consecutive disappearances of angels, the deities of the Supreme Star Pce detected the crisis. They discovered the Star God was always calling angels for private audiences, after which the angels would vanish. The deities knew they could not be alone with the Star God, or they would follow in the footsteps of the angels.
“They banded together to confront the Star God. Under the pressure of the collective gods, the Star God divulged the truth and posed a question to them. A massive battle was on the brink. Almost the instant the Star God posed the question, the collective godsunched an attack on him.”
The Scroll Angel turned to the Assassin Angel and said:
“At that time, I had already died and did not witness the course of the battle firsthand. I have only discovered parts of this grand melee through the threads and traces within the Inner Cosmos. I specte it was this prolonged battle that plunged the Inner Cosmos into chaos, creating the current scene you see, where deities perished, angels ceased to exist, and the Star God vanished. But this is not our focus at the moment.”
