Chapter 1326: 431. Being in the “Tong” Camp_3


    Seeing those 100 artificial angels pointing their guns at them, the yers at the edge of the battle line immediately opened the ship’s broadcasting system and sent frantic signals for peace to all nearby.


    “Respected Angel Enterprises Alliance, though wee from the territory of the United Bureau, we have always admired your side. We have voluntarily shut down all firing systems and ship defense systems. Please believe in our sincerity.”


    This line was concocted by the loose yers in the game’s “local” channel.


    The Angel Enterprise Alliance, being an “in-game NPC,” naturally couldn’t know what was said in the game chat channel.


    The yers made sure to trante their message into differentnguages and repeatedly broadcast it to ensure the message was understood.


    Their action was effective, but the effect came a bitte.


    ...


    The artificial angels stopped sting the ships to pieces only when themander ordered them to cease fire after destroying half of the fleet.


    Those loose yers from the remaining half of the fleet each breathed a sigh of relief, their faces beaming with smiles.


    A ceasefire was the first sessful step.


    What followed would be easier.


    Under Nnd Lee’s watchful eye, the yers let crew members from the Angel Enterprise Alliance board their ships, gain control, and fly towards the artificial angels.


    The yers’ ships were taken over using force fields by the artificial angels, and the yers themselves were only allowed to board the shuttle to the Archangel Group’s ships after forcibly relinquishing all their weapons.


    Nnd Lee flew above the fleet of ships, with a grand view of the entire situation.


    There were 107 artificial angels, and 10 Archangel ships, all special engineering ships.


    The ship the yers boarded was themand ship of this fleet.


    Throwing out a bit of mental magic, Nnd Lee sessfully activated Magic Vision inside that battleship.


    The fleetmander was also long-headed, his skull packed with angel crystals.


    Unlike pastmanders Nnd Lee had seen, this one could actually use mind powers.


    Yes, that’s right, mind powers, not mental magic.


    His mind power seemed to focus on “detection.”


    Upon seeing the yers, themander didn’t hesitate to use his mind powers to probe their inner thoughts,unching a mental power akin to the Mind Reading Technique.


    The yers he looked at had their eyes zed over with a strange yellow light at the bottom of their eyes, their bodies twitching slightly as if someone was messing with their brains.


    Perhaps because the yers had received some game task, they showed little response to this treatment.


    Themander’s inspection was rather quick, and about ten minutester, the yers who came to defect to the Angel Enterprise Alliance were all checked.


    The fleetmander spoke a few words with his deputy.


    The yers were taken away by the crew and locked in separate cabins.


    Once inside, the yers saw that each room had a bed, a window, and even hot water and entertainment equipment. Thinking they were epted, they were extremely excited.


    What excited them even more was that within half a minute of entering the room, a crew member delivered digital tags, registering their essential information.


    It was at this moment that the group of yers received a prompt from the game.


    Nnd Lee was not sure what prompt the game had sent the yers, but he knew the oue.


    Because as soon as the yers wrote down their names on the digital tags, the game sent Nnd Lee a long series of messages with the same meaning.


    [ID 0328832 yer has defected from your Academy.]


    [ID 0932234 yer has defected from your Academy.]


    […]


    Nnd Lee read the messages in his mind, nodded to himself, and began to analyze:


    “I’ve actually guessed it right. The Order ne’s Core isn’t picky. As long as a yer doesn’t escape the game’s control, it doesn’t care which universe power the yers join. In other words, only when a yer can break free from the game’s shackles and rise above the rules of the game will it provoke the Order ne’s Core’s strict control.”


    Nnd Lee remembered the reporting function the game had given him.


    This function might not be as simple as just forcing yers to log off and ban their ounts.


    If a yer diagnosed by passive deconstruction as being tainted by the Dark Divine Cult, that yer is highly likely to be permanently banned by the Order ne’s Core, but at the same time, that yer’s soul will be forcibly “cleansed” by the Order ne’s Core to ensure there is no taint of the Dark Divine Cult on the soul.


    But what if the soul can’t be “cleaned” of its taint no matter what?


    What then would the Order ne’s Core do?


    Would it just eradicate that soul?


    As Nnd Lee pondered, he gradually realized:


    Human conflicts are often about material resources.


    At the level of the ne Core, souls are the chips, and the deities who stand out from the multitude of souls are just chess pieces of the ne Cores.


    In other words, the leak of the Starry Sea Game’s source code is essentially the Order ne’s Core contending against the ne Core behind the Dark Divine Cult.


    As for the identity of the ne Core behind the Dark Divine Cult…


    That’s a multitude.


    Every ne Core behind the Dark Deities can be said to be the backing of this universe’s extraterrestrial religious sect…


    “The Order’s position doesn’t look good. Can it, a single core, ovee so many?”


    Realizing he was caught in the whirlpool of inter-core conflict, Nnd Lee decisively decided to find an opportunity to contact his backing, to inquire about their intentions.


    Nnd Lee’s backing was the Escape Core of the ne and the Scroll Angel.


    The Scroll Angel needs no mention; in terms of erudition, Nnd Lee was no match for the other.


    The Escape ne’s Core had a carefree nature and liked to wander around without developing its own universe forces.


    With the nature of “Escape,” it probably did not want to get involved in the strife.


    Nnd Lee eventually decided to seek assistance from the Scroll Angel.


    He patiently nned the ceremony tomunicate with the Inner Cosmos, quietly staying on the Archangel Ship.


    Before long, the fleet had finished cleaning up the battlefield, gathered the wreckage of the ships, called in transport ships to carry it away, and prepared it for recovery.


    The handful of artificial angels shattered by the yers were also collected and taken away.


    White light shed, and only the Engineering Guardian Ship responsible for extracting battle data worked busily, with all other ships leaving by jump.


    Nnd Lee hitched a ride on a convenient ship, heading toward the Star Gate in the Motuoli Starfield.
