Chapter 1386: 456. Well-informed_2
Just after withdrawing to a safe zone, the Metal Ancestor Dragon issued a roar full of unwillingness and resentment:
“Damn reptile! What on earth killed my clone! Who is thwarting me?! Blast it, I was so close to success! So very close!!”
The frenzied state of the Metal Ancestor Dragon somewhat stunned the Assassin Angel.
Considering the orders the opponent had given to its Outer Space clone, and the fact that the clone in Outer Space had been mysteriously killed by some unknown entity, the Assassin Angel almost instinctively thought of Noland Lee, who was lingering in Outer Space…
Could it have been Noland Lee who caused the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s plot in Outer Space to fail?
With this idea in mind, the Assassin Angel returned to the Spinning Continent and consulted with the Scroll Angel.
The two “people” thought it over, and instead of blindly guessing in the Inner Cosmos, they decided it was better to directly contact Noland Lee in Outer Space to ask for details.
If it just so happened that Noland Lee was the one who had thwarted the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s plan, then that would be even better.
Thus, a ceremony initiated from the Inner Cosmos targeting Outer Space began.
Before long, the Scroll Angel standing in the center of the Array sensed Noland Lee, who seemed to be moving at high speed.
After patiently waiting for about ten seconds, Noland Lee entered a stationary state and connected to the “long-distance call” from the Scroll Angel.
“Did you just have a confrontation with the Metal Ancestor Dragon?” the Scroll Angel asked immediately.
Noland Lee’s heart skipped a beat:
“You know already? Oh, right, right, the Assassin Angel has always been monitoring that old dragon. It’s normal for you to know.”
The Scroll Angel and the Assassin Angel exchanged glances, their expressions seeming to say, indeed, it was as they had thought.
The Scroll Angel continued to inquire:
“What happened between you two? Why does that old dragon seem so furious and flustered?”
Noland Lee had just teleported with the Snow-winged Cat to the Dean’s office room.
He pulled out a chair, sat down with a plunk, and vividly described his actions with the Command Plane’s Core.
From orchestrating a massive disconnect of players, to using Soul Constructs as bait to hook the Angel Enterprises Alliance, to discovering the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s clone tampering with the warp routes of the transport ships, and so on and so forth.
By the time he finished narrating this long series of events, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.
At the end of the story, Noland Lee gave himself and the Command a fair evaluation:
“We only used a ship’s worth of Soul Constructs as a price to severely damage the Redemption Angel Group Fleet of the Angel Enterprise Alliance, destroy the Dark Galaxy of the Metal Creation Group, and even make the Metal Ancestor Dragon furious with urgency. That counts as investing one unit of effort for a threefold return, doesn’t it?”
After listening, the Scroll Angel pondered for a few seconds before speaking:
“So, is the Metal Ancestor Dragon so angry because you blocked its clone from plundering the Soul Constructs twice in a row?”
Noland Lee cocked his head slightly, then firmly nodded:
“Right. Based on the sequence of events, that seems to be the case.”
The Scroll Angel muttered to himself in puzzlement:
“What does the Metal Ancestor Dragon want with the Soul Constructs?”
The Scroll Angel turned his head to meet the gaze of the Assassin Angel.
As their eyes met, inspiration struck, and both blurted out in unison:
“It’s for exploring the Illusion Space.”
“Uh, what Illusion Space?” Noland Lee, hearing the two through the ritual array, asked.
The Scroll Angel organized his thoughts and recounted the events that had taken place 30 kilometers underground at Alchemist Island over the past period of time.
Noland Lee listened while flipping through the Deconstruction Results.
He had single-handedly slain the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s Dragon Man clone, triggering a Passive Deconstruction and obtaining very detailed deconstruction results.
Among the many deconstruction results, there prominently appeared commands from the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s original body to this Dragon Man clone.
Indeed, this clone had been collecting Soul Constructs for the Metal Ancestor Dragon.
After gathering the Soul Constructs, the clone would use the ritual array to send all the constructs to the Inner Cosmos for the main body to dispatch.
Noland Lee knew that this matter was of great importance.
Waiting for the Scroll Angel to finish talking about the Illusion Space, he immediately shared the deconstruction results.
Two angels and one human finally managed to fully unravel all the plots of the Metal Ancestor Dragon.
