Chapter 1421: 470. Void Spears

“I saved the cucumber slice. Winter melon and kelp turned into Hysteric Brain’s offspring at some point, and I had to forcibly wipe them out using the game system,” Noland Lee stated as he flew out of the three-dimensional magic array, speaking to the three extraordinary beings waiting outside.

“Hysteric Brain’s offspring? Are you sure?” a milky-white division of the Order Plane’s Core expressed its doubt.

Noland nodded and replied,

“Yes, I am sure. Using the game system control you entrusted to me, I forcefully shut down some game system functions for winter melon and kelp, causing trauma to their souls. This type of soul-level trauma forced them to reveal their true forms, which were bizarre figures wrapped in fog, with black tentacles extending and retracting within the mist. If I am not mistaken, these should indeed be Hysteric Brain’s offspring.”

Noland didn’t mention that he had confirmed the identities of ‘winter melon’ and ‘kelp’ through Passive Deconstruction.

Because in the eyes of Order Plane’s Core and Senati, Noland was merely a mortal who had mastered the Heart of Magic and possessed a high spell casting ability.

Among the three extraordinary entities present, only the Assassin Angel knew Noland had the ability of Passive Deconstruction, and this ability could be exercised without the use of magic.

To protect his own secret, and to help cover up the fact that the Scroll Angel possessed the Deconstruction technique, Noland had to explain how he was certain ‘winter melon’ and ‘kelp’ were Hysteric Brain’s offspring by claiming the “enemies were compelled to reveal their true forms.”

In response to Noland’s explanation, the focal point of Order’s concern wasn’t whether the other party was hiding something.

It was more concerned about why it, a player master controlling the game system, had previously never detected the transformation of winter melon and kelp into the Hysteric Brain’s offspring.

This was a very, very serious issue.

Winter melon, kelp, cucumber slice, and twelve other players who had aligned with the Dark Divine Cult had not been stripped of the game system by the Metal Ancestor Dragon.

Although these players’ souls were contaminated to varying degrees by the Extraterrestrial Eternity, in the deepest part of their souls, there remained a pure land where the core of the game system resided.

Order Plane’s Core had intentionally not reclaimed the game system from these fifteen players, in order to rely on its connection with the game system and indirectly monitor the movements within the Inner Cosmos.

In other words, if the cucumber slice had been stripped of the game system by the Metal Ancestor Dragon earlier, Noland would have had no chance to communicate with its soul through a ceremony.

Order was clearly aware that the souls of those twelve players who sided with the Dark Divine Cult had been severely contaminated, but it was completely oblivious to the fact that ‘winter melon’ and ‘kelp’ had been transformed into Hysteric Brain’s offspring.

This was frankly making the Core tense, even inducing a slight sense of fear.

Order Plane’s Core remained silent.

Senati maintained its quiet stance.

Noland turned to the division of the Assassin Angel and asked,

“Your Excellency, was the sabotage operation successful?”

The division of the Assassin Angel vibrated slightly, its surface covered in undulating purple fog, seemingly wanting to speak but then abstaining due to an inability to divert its attention.

Noland was somewhat puzzled; by now, the servers at Metal Creation Group’s Headquarters should have plunged into the star, yet why did the Assassin Angel seem as if it was too preoccupied fighting a fierce battle to respond?

A peculiar sensation flowed through Noland’s heart.

He accessed the spell list in his mind, selecting a spell mark he had placed near Space Station B-76, only to find those spell marks had already been destroyed.

Noland furrowed his brow.

These spell marks were some distance from B-76, with the nearest one over fifty kilometers away, but how were they all destroyed by external forces…

Could it be that something unexpected had occurred in the star system where B-76 Space Station was located?

Contemplating, Noland called for the Snow-winged Cat, remotely issuing it a command to jump to the star system where B-76 was located.

As a precaution, Noland provided jump coordinates at the edge of the star system to prevent the Snow-winged Cat from being unwillingly dragged into a battle.

The Snow-winged Cat immediately set off.

Just then, Order came out of its contemplation and said,

“I just checked the cucumber slice’s body and soul. His body has always been on the planet and has never left, thus free from contamination. His soul had once been slightly contaminated, those contaminations have already been purified by the ritual array. His soul is now clean, suffering only some mild trauma. I suggest reconstructing his soul to erase some unnecessary memories, then returning it to his body.”

Noland had no objections.

He followed Order’s guidance, returning the control of cucumber slice’s game system to Order via the game interface.

The bodies of winter melon and kelp were lifeless at the time their souls were erased by Noland.

Order reforge the bodies of these two unfortunate players, pressing two new souls into them, designated them as the second generational winter melon and kelp, and returned them together with cucumber slice to the workshop.

Thus concluded the three players’ brief journey within the Inner Cosmos.

The trip had come so abruptly and ended so hastily that they were completely unaware that they had traveled a full circle between the Inner and Outer Cosmoses.

“Meow~”

The Snow-winged Cat communicated with Noland through their soul connection.

Noland targeted Kitty and cast “Mind View,” observing the situation around Space Station B-76 through its perspective.
