Chapter 1416: Race against time
“How did it go? Was the ceremony sessful?”
In the spacious and bright hidden chamber, the Assassin Angel stood at the perimeter of the three-dimensional magic array, asking Nnd Lee whose eyes had just opened within the array.
Nnd Lee shook his head slightly, dispersing the slight dizziness in his mind from presiding over the ceremony.
After two seconds, he turned into an invisible breeze and flew out from the array, speaking to the three figures waiting outside:
“With Lady Senati’s help to reduce themunication dy between the Inner Cosmos and Outer Space, this time’s ceremony was very sessful. In the state of zero dy, I was able to contact the Cucumber Slice located 30 kilometers underground on Alchemist Ind after just one attempt. Regarding what I saw in the Illusion Space, this is what he told me…”
Nnd Lee began to ry Cucumber Slice’s words.
...
The three figures in front of him listened quietly.
The figure on the left was the Assassin Angel’s Division, shrouded in purple mist, its true face obscured.
The milky-white figure in the middle was a Soul Construct sculpted by ‘Command,’ carrying the will of ‘Command.’
The figure on the right was orange-yellow in color, looking somewhat like a jelly person filled with orange sparkling dots, its surface smooth and its interior luminous. Likewise, this figure’s true face was unclear, even though it wasn’t shrouded in purple mist like the Assassin Angel.
This was a division of Senati.
Without Senati’s assistance in lowering themunication dy between the inner and outer starry sky, Nnd Lee simply could not ovee the 5-minute dy, stuck waiting for the 1 minute of rebirth after Cucumber Slice’s death, to establish contact with this poor fellow forced intobor by the Metal Ancestor Dragon.
“That’s the situation. The illusion that appeared in that Illusion Space is quite simr to the illusion cast by the brain stem in the Angels’ Voice Space, both narrating the process of ‘Din Paradise’ hiding within the Sacred Fire tobat the copse of the universe,” said Nnd Lee:
“I exined to Cucumber Slice that this was an anomaly of the intelligence brain washing humans with its own world view. This exnation may have some loopholes, but it should be able to stabilize Cucumber Slice and his group for the time being.”
Nnd Lee calcted the time in his heart:
“Based on Cucumber Slice’s recent death experience, his next demise should ur within the next 3 minutes.”
The ceremony that had just taken ce had used the body that Cucumber Slice left on the “reality”osphere as a medium, with the ritual’s target focused on Cucumber Slice’s soul.
If they truly wanted to act, they could only do so on the level of Cucumber Slice’s soul.
The Assassin Angel’s Division remained silent, seeminglymunicating with its main body.
After a few seconds, it spoke:
“In at most half an hour, my preparations will beplete, and we can move against the server clusters of the Metal Creation Group Headquarters.”
“Half an hour…” Nnd Lee thought for a moment and then said,
“Half an hour is enough for Cucumber Slice, Winter Melon, and Kelp to die ten times over. Their souls will weaken because of this, and the sess rate of the soulmunication ceremonies will inevitably be lower.”
‘Command’ spoke through the milky-white Soul Construct:
“We can use the ceremony to replenish their Soul Energy, but doing so might alert the Metal Ancestor Dragon who is closely monitoring the situation. Even if the Metal Ancestor Dragon doesn’t care much about the growth of souls, the fluctuations in Soul Strength of the three would likely not escape the eyes of the Death Steel Legion. That group of Metal Skeletons has profound research on souls and is definitely an expert in this field.”
“In that case, using the ceremony to replenish Soul Energy for Cucumber Slice and the others carries not an insignificant risk…” Nnd Lee fell into thought.
Senati’s division did not join the discussion.
In fact, after her Strength had greatly diminished, this Time and Evolution Angel who could predict the near future had to concentrate her remaining power on controlling the barrier of the Inner Cosmos, hardly able to spare extra power to assist.
In the words of the Assassin Angel, Senati was like an anesthesiologist, and it was best for her to remain silent.
Once she started to speak, it would surely be bad news.
It was either the barrier of the Inner Cosmos being breached again or her elerating loss of control over the barrier of the Inner Cosmos.
In short, a quiet Senati was a reassuring Time and Evolution Angel.
It’s worth mentioning that Senati personally experienced the earth-shattering war between the Star God and the gods.
She had sealed this history inside the ‘Echo Chip.’
This ‘Echo Chip’ was one of the rewards Nnd Lee and the Assassin Angel received for assisting ‘Command’ in eliminating the spies of the Dark Divine Cult.
Just before initiating the recent ceremony, Nnd Lee had just finished viewing the contents in the ‘Echo Chip,’ gaining a new understanding of the divine battles.
To summarize in one sentence:
Did not understand, really did not understand.
When Nnd Lee’s consciousness submerged into the ‘Echo Chip,’ he saw nothing but constantly shifting lines and flickering lights, apanied by a buzzing noise in his ears.
No Star God, no Extraterrestrial Eternity, Nnd Lee didn’t even glimpse a shadow,pletely baffled.
The Assassin Angel, however, seemed engrossed, even discussing for a moment with Senati and ‘Command.’
The fact that Nnd Lee couldn’t grasp the specific scenes within the ‘Echo Chip’ wasn’t surprising to the three extraordinary beings; when his life level was high enough in the future, he would naturally be able to glimpse the true nature of that great war.
Time passed as they discussed.
At the precise moment, Nnd Lee returned to the ritual array and reestablished contact with Cucumber Slice in the Inner Cosmos.
Elsewhere, on United Bureau’s Space Navy Space Station designated B-76, the body of the Assassin Angel took matters into its own hands.
