Chapter 1139: 353. Arrogant Cooperation
“The Undying, oh, I know this group.”
The Assassin Angel said indifferently,
“They made quite a stir in star systems far from the Angel Enterprises Alliance, attracting their interest. The Alliance dispatched a fleet and abducted a few of the Undying, bringing them to the Archangel Group for research. These Undying eventually used death in combat as a way to escape, and the outcomes of the Alliance’s research were very limited.”
“Then who is the plane core behind the ‘Undying’?” Noland Lee asked.
The Assassin Angel replied,
“This cannot be ascertained yet, since there is more than one plane core with similar abilities. From my observations, the Undying’s immortality is secondary; the key lies in their ability to ‘retain their memories after resurrection’ and ‘learn any extraordinary abilities through infusion.'”
...
“There are many methods to achieve resurrection after death. For instance, Transcendent Wizards using magic avatars and the Demon Brain Race can both resurrect within their respective boundaries after death. However, both are unable to retain their memories from before they died.
“The Undying are different. Not only can they retain their complete memories after resurrection, but they also obtain some kind of benefit and thereby receive rewards from the plane core behind the scenes. These rewards include mastering traits similar to other extraordinary races, as well as some of their abilities.”
After pondering for a few seconds, the Assassin Angel continued,
“From my knowledge, at least five plane cores possess the ability to grant their subordinates such extraordinary traits. The ones most similar to the Undying are the ‘War God’ and ‘Command’ plane cores.”
“War God… Command…”
“Yes. The ‘War God’ plane core transforms its creatures into extraordinary individuals capable of infinite resurrection after death, retaining battle experience and memories. It usually places its subordinates in areas illuminated by the Radiance of the Fire of St. Dylan to conduct invasions, occupations, and even slaughters to absorb the Fire’s radiance through these extraordinary creatures.”
“The ‘Command’ plane core is a bit special. It drives its extraordinary subordinates to perform certain tasks. Each deed they do benefits the ‘Command’ plane core, which then shares a small part of the profits with its extraordinary creatures.”
The Assassin Angel paused:
“The characteristics of these two plane cores closely align with the one behind the Undying, but there are also clear differences. The ‘War God’ plane core adores war, while the Undying are not as combative and even prefer to communicate with other life creatures in a peaceful manner. The ‘Command’ plane core has a strong purpose—it solely desires the Radiance of the Fire of Dillan, making invasion of the Inner Cosmos a must. But thus far, the Undying have not opened any channels to the Inner Cosmos; they simply wander within specific star systems, a purpose that does not align with the ‘Command’ plane core…”
The Assassin Angel showed confusion regarding the “Undying.”
Even this professional could not fully grasp the origin of this group. noveldrama
“However, one thing is certain,” the Assassin Angel added,
“the plane core behind the ‘Undying’ is not a newly born core. It has existed for a long time because since the Supreme Star Palace built the Star Palace Barrier, all new plane cores have directly appeared in the Inner Cosmos. I am unaware of any new plane core with such an existence; it must be an older core. But to speak of its specific origins… I’m not sure. There are too many plane cores, and many remain loose in the Barren Universe, never stepping into Outer Space. Perhaps only the Star Gods are aware of their existence.”
Gazing at the slowly enlarging skyline of the Necropolis in the distance, Noland Lee nodded slowly and asked,
“Then do you think it’s possible for me to collaborate with such a plane core?”
“It’s best not to entrust your future to an unknown plane core,” the Assassin Angel advised.
Well, that makes sense.
Noland Lee nodded in agreement.
It made sense when he thought about it; his recognition of the plane core behind the “Undying” came from his understanding of the “Player” group.
This was a preconceived notion that made him assume the plane core behind the Undying, which resembled “Players,” could be trusted as well.
But from the perspective of a professional like the Assassin Angel, whether the plane core behind the “Undying” was worth contacting and trusting remained a large question mark, unless the Assassin Angel could identify its origins.
Noland Lee seriously contemplated this and suppressed the urge to try to make contact with the “Undying.”
More than ten minutes later, the bone boat docked at the pier of Necropolis.
Noland Lee disembarked the boat and, under the protection of the sect’s guards, passed through the gloomy and oppressive streets to reach the Spiderweb Municipal Hall where Lophi was located.
This time, Noland Lee did not have to wait in the Grand Hall.
Disguised as a Sea Monster Emissary, he was led directly by Spider Mother Attendants into the deepest cave of the Municipal Hall, where he met Friar Lophi in full dress.
It was called full dress, but it was really just adorned with many eerie decorations.
Shattered skulls, desiccated eyeballs, and wisps of jerky fluttered in the wind like treasures as Lophi hung them on himself and secured them with black hair, thoroughly displaying the Undead Cult’s desecration of life creatures and adoration of death.
