Chapter 1242: 397. Special Mission

“You may not know this yet, but the Synthetic Human Technology developed by the Metal Creation Group can continuously supply soul energy to the Metal Ancestor Dragon.”

The Scroll Angel used a light screen to display the scene being described:

“During the era of the Supreme Star Palace, many Extraordinaries, including myself, discovered a secret related to the birth of souls. Suppose the complexity coefficient of small animals like cats and dogs is 0.2, then the complexity coefficient for human physiological structures is 1. Only beings with a coefficient of 1 can give birth to a soul. If a creature rapidly created through extraordinary craftsmanship reaches a physiological complexity of 1, then it will possess a soul. Synthetic Human Technology is perfectly suited for collecting souls in large quantities.”

Noland Lee suddenly realized:

“No wonder the Metal Ancestor Dragon casually hands out 3 billion points of soul energy, so that’s where it comes from. Then, what happens to those synthetic humans from whom souls have been taken? Are they reforged, their waste reused, to produce more synthetic humans?”

The Scroll Angel shook its head:

“No, they will continue to work for the Metal Creation Group in the form of the lowest grade synthetic human parts, driven by the Synthetic Human Main Control Chip, until the parts in their body can no longer bear the burden and are sent to the recycling workshop for disposal. Such acts of obtaining soul energy through created individuals were expressly forbidden by the Star Gods during the time of the Supreme Star Palace. Overcollecting soul energy does not make the Inner or Outer Star Palaces more orderly; instead, it breeds more disasters and perils. I think the Assassin Angel can attest to this.”

The Assassin Angel said:

“Yes, when I used to punish deities for the Star God, I received many tasks to investigate the overcollection of soul energy.”

Noland Lee said thoughtfully:

“Hmm, I think I understand what you’re getting at. Now that the Star God is gone and the surviving deities from that battle are unrestrained, and with the Assassin Angel trapped in the Main Brain Controller, someone needs to cut the ground from under the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s feet to put an end to its rampant abuse in the Inner Cosmos. But… passive deconstruction alone isn’t sufficient. If I lose my spellcasting ability after entering Outer Space, then it would be hard to infiltrate the Metal Creation Group, let alone destroy it.”

“I have considered your problem,” the Scroll Angel raised its hand above its head, and a white luminance fell from the ceiling, steadying in its hand.

As the white light dissipated, the object revealed its true form—it was an exquisitely realistic Magic Heart, pure white, with every strand of texture clearly visible under the effects of magic craftsmanship, surrounded by concentric rings of energy aura, a truly extraordinary object that would drive any Wizard insane.

“This is the ‘Heart of Magic’ that I demanded from the Wizard’s Plane Core. With it, you will be able to retain your passive deconstruction ability while mastering the ability to cast spells. Moreover, it can present you with spell blueprints and casting materials that meet your needs. It could be said that with it, you will become the only Wizard in the Extraterrestrial Void.”

The Scroll Angel held the Magic Heart and introduced it.
