Chapter 1302: 422. Forcibly Board the Ship

Each type of Artificial Angel possessed an extraordinary and unparalleled self-healing ability.

Within three seconds of their heads being severed from their bodies, the scarlet liquid that flowed from the cross-section began to change.

Originally, the liquid, following inertia, was expelled outward by the force of the explosion.

But now, the scarlet fluid thickened and its color intensified, unnaturally rolling back toward the smooth wound.

The head of the Artificial Angel was dragged by its own blood, inching closer to the cross-section of the neck it was severed from.

Countless thin strips of flesh extended from the cut surfaces of both the neck and head, intertwining eagerly like impatient lovers.

In no time at all, the bowl-sized scar on the neck would disappear amid the writhing of flesh strips.

By then, the head of the Artificial Angel would rejoin tightly with the body, leaving only a harrowing ring of scar tissue around the neck.

This potent regenerative ability stemmed from a Passive Skill called “Death Immunity” that all mature Artificial Angels were equipped with.

Only adult Artificial Angels possessed this Passive Skill; the immature ones did not.

It was for this reason that craniotomies on Artificial Angels had to be postponed until after they had reached maturity.

Noland Lee had figured out the ins and outs of this during his stay on the breeding planetsphere for Artificial Angels.

For each year that an Artificial Angel matured, the trigger count for “Death Immunity” would increase by one.

The Artificial Angels guarding the transport fleet in front of him were approximately 28 years old, having been adults for eight years, each possessing eight chances of death exemption.

Subtracting the craniotomy the Artificial Angels experienced upon reaching adulthood, they would still have seven chances of death exemption left over.

At this moment in time, to kill them seven consecutive times in a short duration was practically impossible.

Oh, right, there’s no need to consider killing them during their resurrection phase either.

The flesh strips stretching from the wound were healing the injury, true enough.

But such Artificial Angels in the midst of resurrection were not living beings, but dead ones.

Slicing them into myriad pieces now would not trigger the next “Death Immunity.”

One had to wait until they were fully restored to their original state and regained mobility before killing them again to trigger a new “Death Immunity.”

Noland Lee’s knowledge of this bizarre killing rule did not come from practice, but from the experimental records he saw at the Angel Enterprises Alliance.

The Angel Enterprises Alliance had conducted extensive practical research on Artificial Angels.

A plethora of unimaginable features of Artificial Angels had been unearthed.

Besides “Death Immunity,” there were many features that were wildly imaginative.

For example, Artificial Angels are viviparous, with their reproduction process similar to that of mankind.

This might sound normal at first.
