Chapter 1198: 376. The vastness of the Universe_2
Anyway, as long as he was the final victor, he could hide in the Sub-Dimensional Plane forever and never come out, and the wizards within the Natural World couldn’t do anything to him.
Uh… for safety’s sake, Noland still needed to prepare for all eventualities.
After repeatedly inquiring from Professor Lamp, he found a rather familiar name on the list of the exploration team.
Severas Nabi, the Transcendent Wizard behind the Night Spirit Cult, was the leader of one of the exploration teams.
When Noland had previously encountered Nabi, the latter had just been feasting on the Essence of the Bloodbinder’s Corpse.
The two of them conducted a trade and established a rather special soul contract.
In this contract, Noland promised to leave a small portion of the Corpse Essence for Nabi, and as for what compensation Nabi was to pay, Noland had not yet decided.
Now, Noland still had that soul contract book in his pocket.
He just had to take it out and write “Prohibit Nabi’s exploration team from targeting oneself” on it, and the contract would officially be established.
This was equivalent to eliminating a small part of his enemies.
But Noland was not satisfied with just this.
He had a bold idea and needed to find time to talk to Nabi face to face before he could confirm its feasibility.
As he pondered, the Escape Core of the Plane incessantly changed round characters like a chatterbox, sending new messages.
“After you take possession of the Sub-Dimensional Plane, you need to, according to our agreement, set up an Array to collect and transmit the Luminous from the Fire of St. Dillan.”
“I will use this Array to recover my own Power. As long as you ensure the Array’s normal operation, within at most three years, I should be able to accumulate enough power to let you and your companions safely leave the Cage.”
“Oh, right. I remembered something.”
The Escape Core of the Plane paused:
“What about that angel by your side?”
Noland came back to his senses and said:
“He has some matters to attend to and is temporarily away.”
The Escape Core of the Plane said:
“I have no intention of stirring up trouble between Him and you. I’m just very curious. Why do you still need my power to leave the Cage, even with an angel taking care of you?”
“Because His condition isn’t too good either,” Noland mused:
“He must have told you, right? His main body has been sealed inside a container in the Outer Space, temporarily unable to mobilize much power.”
The Escape Core of the Plane said:
“No. You are misunderstanding my point. Angels always have the key to freely enter and leave the Cage. If He wants you to leave the Cage, you would be able to immediately leave and enter Outer Space. This ability is unrelated to whether He’s sealed. As long as He’s still an Angel of the Supreme Star Palace, He can do it.”
Noland frowned:
“What do you mean?”
The Escape Core of the Plane said:
“What I mean is, that ‘angel’ is not a real Angel. He is just calling Himself ‘Angel’.”
Noland took a slight breath:
“You mean, He might be impersonating the name of an Assassin Angel?”
“No, not that,” the Escape Core of the Plane hesitated for once:
“… The ‘angel’ you’ve met is likely a Fallen Angel. He retains most of His extraordinary abilities but has been stripped of His position and power in the Supreme Star Palace. That is the real reason He was sealed in a container.”
Noland’s heartbeat accelerated slightly:
“A Fallen Angel… That’s why… That’s why He has such difficulty moving in and out of the Inner Cosmos.”
The Escape Core of the Plane said:
“Judging from your reaction, I can probably guess what’s going on. You may not be aware, but when the Supreme Star Palace existed, those who angered the Star God over certain matters were exiled to the Inner Cosmos and locked inside redemption containers in the Outer Space. Only after the redemption period expired could the deities or angels in the containers regain freedom and return to the Inner Cosmos.”
Noland asked subconsciously:
“Then do you know that the Supreme Star Palace would end up like this?”
The Escape Core of the Plane said:
