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?”
