Chapter 1453: Ending 3: Transcendent Ascension_3

Assassin Angel and “Command” discovered the problem at the same time.

The fake “Noland Lee” in front of them spoke words that differed from the true history recorded in the “Echo Chip.”

“And then? What reward did you ask for?” Assassin Angel asked.

Noland Lee chuckled:

“I proposed using a 64-faced Bomb to blast Him, and He agreed.”

“This…” Assassin Angel was speechless and choked up:

“Don’t tell me you actually used the Bomb on Him.”

“Yes, I did.” Noland Lee’s smile faded as he spoke gravely:

“After the explosion, I discovered it was fake, just a monster mixed from Hysteric Brain and Void Spears, not the real Senati. By the way, the spell to transform into Void Spears was what I learned.”

Assassin Angel scrutinized Noland Lee up and down:

“After learning that transformation spell, you didn’t go to the Inner Cosmos, did you?”

“Yes…” Noland Lee’s eyes twinkled, and his eyebrows raised:

“Could it be that the Assassin Angel I met in the Inner Cosmos was real?”

“That’s right, it was me.” Assassin Angel nodded.

Noland Lee put his hands on his head:

“Then what’s going on here? Why is the Senati I met fake, but the you I met real?”

Noland Lee’s gaze shifted as he clapped his hands together and said:

“No, no, no, that’s not right. If the Senati I met last time was fake, then the ‘Command’ incarnation that led me should also be fake. But why has it now become real?”

The ‘Command’ incarnation asked Noland Lee through the Game Interface:

“Did you check my identity and that of Assassin Angel this time, like you did in the last recurrence?”

Noland Lee shook his head:

“No, I didn’t.”

That complicates things.

The situation became increasingly complex.

“Rumble, rumble…” The sound of the players fighting the Space Station guards boomed from a distant place.

Assassin Angel suggested changing locations before continuing their discussion.

He and “Command” did not fully trust the Noland Lee before them.

As per the original plan, they would first take the Noland Lee in front of them and then figure out a way to verify his identity.

The three left the Angel’s Voice Space Station and landed on a desolate planet far from the battlefield.

Upon landing, Assassin Angel asked:

“How can you prove you are the real Noland Lee?”

“Are you doubting that I am fake?”

“Yes, in the last recurrence, a fake Noland Lee assassinated Senati,” Assassin Angel said.

“What can I do about that?” Noland Lee looked down at his body, patted his chest hard:

“Genuine and real, I am myself. If you don’t believe, we can go to the Inner Cosmos, let…”

He immediately stopped mid-sentence.

Among the three present, only he and Assassin Angel knew that Scroll Angel possessed Deconstruction Abilities, “Command” was uninformed.

Assassin Angel figured out what Noland Lee was about to say and turned to speak with ‘Command’s’ incarnation:

“You first pass on the situation here to Senati, I will take him on a trip to the Inner Cosmos.”

‘Command’s’ incarnation dissipated on the spot, leaving Noland Lee and Assassin Angel standing there.

Assassin Angel used mist to create an Array facilitating travel between the Inner and Outer Cosmos, while Noland Lee stared blankly, contemplating.

“I remember something,” Noland Lee said:

“After so many recurrences, Extraterrestrial Eternity should know where Senati is, right? If that’s the case, regardless of whether I am real or not, the place where Senati is should have been targeted by Extraterrestrial Eternity, even attacked directly. But now, ‘Command’ hasn’t warned us about Senati being attacked. Doesn’t this imply that not only are we trapped in recurrence, but so is Extraterrestrial Eternity?”

“Yes.” Assassin Angel was fully focused on setting up the Array and simply responded to Noland Lee.

Noland Lee took a step forward and continued:

“Then think carefully, if Extraterrestrial Eternity is also affected by recurrence, and they can’t record the events of the past recurrences like we can, doesn’t this mean that the power causing our recurrence does not originate from Extraterrestrial Eternity, but rather from some existence in the Star Palace?”

Assassin Angel paused.

He considered the last voice he heard in the previous recurrence:

“Could it be Vaana manipulating the recurrence?”

“Vaana? The Angel of Mind and Illusion?” Noland Lee pressed:

“What color is his appearance? Orange-yellow?”

Assassin Angel whirled around:

“You’ve seen Him? Where did you see Him?”

Noland Lee recalled:

“In the second recurrence, you had me enter the core space of the Inner Cosmos to initiate a reset. Just as I was about to pull the lever, Vaana’s silhouette appeared beside me, spoke some words to me, and then pulled the lever down with me, resetting the Inner Cosmos.”

Assassin Angel put down what he was holding:

“What did He say to you?”

Noland Lee recalled deeply and said:

“He mentioned how many attempts there had been, said that pulling down the lever would not exempt me but cause me to disappear, and asked if I had any regrets. At that time, I felt that I could return to the start anyway, so I agreed to pull the lever, and then He started the reset with me.”

Assassin Angel asked:

“Do you think He could hear your words?”

Noland Lee shook his head:

“No.”

Assassin Angel was slightly lost in thought, murmuring:

“This seems to be a kind of echo existing in the Inner Cosmos.”

“Echo?”

Assassin Angel snapped out of it, held back further comments:

“Let’s not talk about this for now. Once we’ve entered the Inner Cosmos and verified your identity, I will tell you some things.”
