Chapter 1416: Race against time

“How did it go? Was the ceremony successful?”

In the spacious and bright hidden chamber, the Assassin Angel stood at the perimeter of the three-dimensional magic array, asking Noland Lee whose eyes had just opened within the array.

Noland 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 the communication delay between the Inner Cosmos and Outer Space, this time’s ceremony was very successful. In the state of zero delay, I was able to contact the Cucumber Slice located 30 kilometers underground on Alchemist Island after just one attempt. Regarding what I saw in the Illusion Space, this is what he told me…”

Noland Lee began to relay 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 the communication delay between the inner and outer starry sky, Noland Lee simply could not overcome the 5-minute delay, stuck waiting for the 1 minute of rebirth after Cucumber Slice’s death, to establish contact with this poor fellow forced into labor by the Metal Ancestor Dragon.

“That’s the situation. The illusion that appeared in that Illusion Space is quite similar to the illusion cast by the brain stem in the Angels’ Voice Space, both narrating the process of ‘Dillan Paradise’ hiding within the Sacred Fire to combat the collapse of the universe,” said Noland Lee:

“I explained to Cucumber Slice that this was an anomaly of the intelligence brain washing humans with its own world view. This explanation may have some loopholes, but it should be able to stabilize Cucumber Slice and his group for the time being.”

Noland Lee calculated the time in his heart:

“Based on Cucumber Slice’s recent death experience, his next demise should occur within the next 3 minutes.”

The ceremony that had just taken place had used the body that Cucumber Slice left on the “reality” planetosphere 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, seemingly communicating with its main body.

After a few seconds, it spoke:

“In at most half an hour, my preparations will be complete, and we can move against the server clusters of the Metal Creation Group Headquarters.”

“Half an hour…” Noland Lee thought for a moment and then said,
