Chapter 1435: Ending 1: The Fire of No Regrets_7
“The Southern Hemisphere of the ‘Reality’ Planetosphere, on an island farthest from the land, the setting sun was resplendent, and the sea breeze was gentle.”
A figure shrouded in dark grey mist reclined lazily on a beach chair made of shells and pearls.
His face was obscured by the grey fog, making it hard to discern his true appearance, and bystanders could only detect that his gaze was constantly focused on the waves that fluctuated with the sea breeze.
A few steps away from this grey figure, the Assassin Angel raised his right hand, forming a light orb in his palm that emitted a gentle luminous warmth.
He directed the light of the orb with his thoughts, weaving it into a tangible beam of light that fell upon the grey figure and penetrated his body.
A prolonged hum came from the tip of the grey figure’s nose, carrying a sense of relief and satisfaction as if he had finally fulfilled a long-standing craving for a cigarette.
“I specifically arranged a clone inside the Inner Cosmos to help you gather the Light of the Sacred Fire.”
The Assassin Angel released his right hand, allowing the orb of light to hover mid-air, autonomously transferring the Light of the Sacred Fire to Senati, who lay on the pearl shell beach chair.
If it weren’t for the fear of being traced by the Extraterrestrial Eternity, Senati would have used the barriers he set up in the Inner Cosmos to absorb the Light of the Sacred Fire long ago.
He had been weakened to the extreme because he had not bathed in the Sacred Fire for years.
The orb of light brought by the Assassin Angel merely refreshed him slightly, nowhere near enough to help Senati recover his strength.
However, everything would get better.
Once the infiltration of the Extraterrestrial Eternity into the Inner Cosmos was cleared, and the enemies who had always been contesting the control of the Barrier of the Inner Cosmos with Senati were eliminated, Senati would be able to absorb the Light of the Sacred Fire through the Inner Cosmos Barrier without any concerns.
“Can we trust that mortal? How much do you know about him?” the grey figure half-lying on the beach chair asked in a feeble female voice.
The Assassin Angel turned his body toward the sea, his tone calm:
“I know his entire past. He was created by the Scroll Angel…”
The Assassin Angel recounted the origin of Noland Lee, from Noland’s emergence to his acceptance of the Scroll Angel’s arrangement to enter the Outer Space with the ‘Heart of Magic’, up to him aiding himself and falling into the illusion of the mind stem.
When the Assassin Angel mentioned what Noland saw in the illusion, he paused:
“… Noland said he experienced death in the illusion. You and I were severely injured and disappeared, ‘Command’ was captured by the Extraterrestrial Eternity, and he himself was killed by Void Spears. After he died in this deep illusion, he returned to the Starry Sky where the illusion began, touched the digit ‘0’ next to that flame again. After this, he woke up from the coma, seeing both me and the clone of ‘Command’, as if everything had restarted.”
The Assassin Angel asked:
“Do you think he has returned to reality now? Or does he, I, you, and ‘Command’, actually enter another illusion created by Vaana? It’s not impossible, and Vaana has the power to do this, even though She has already…”
