Chapter 1146: 356. Protocol Terminal
Among the many abilities of the Assassin Angel Gallobelia, those related to time and space would definitely include the “Veil of Different Worlds.”
Furthermore, the ones he mentioned earlier, Gilenz and Selent, respectively mastered the abilities of space with gravity, and time with evolution.
Gilenz used his powers to create the Star Palace Barrier, also known as the Inner Cosmos, Outer Space, and the Star Filtering Net, which, scientifically speaking, can be considered the largest black hole at the Cane Tip Seat.
Selent, between the Inner and Outer Cosmos, created a colossal Time Chasm that is nearly impossible to cross. The millennia-long time difference between the Inner and Outer is enough to annihilate most life creatures.
At first glance, compared to Gilenz and Selent, the Assassin Angel’s “Veil of Different Worlds” might seem a bit lackluster.
But!
...
Noland Lee didn’t think so.
Why are the Star Gods impressive?
One is because they can traverse dimensions, and two is because they can replicate deities.
Although the Assassin Angel cannot traverse dimensions, his “Veil of Different Worlds” somewhat resembles the Star Gods’ replication ability.
From this angle, the Assassin Angel could be considered a “downscaled” Star God.
Noland even believed that the Star Gods’ ability to replicate deities was learned from the Assassin Angel.
After all, hadn’t the latter just said that the Star Gods had mastered the ability to replicate deities through later learning and research?
And replication, or rather, “Time-Space Transfer,” is exactly the essence of the “Veil of Different Worlds.”
Though Noland Lee communicated with the Assassin Angel, his hands didn’t stop moving.
He issued an order to the Rock Spirit to start digging a vertical tunnel.
The clanging sounds of digging were muffled by the “Veil of Different Worlds,” and the splattering mud and debris also vanished into invisibility.
Several High-level War Spirit Patrol Teams flew over Noland’s head, completely unaware of the bustling construction scene below.
Noland rolled up his sleeves and fervently summoned three more Rock Spirits.
In total, four summoned Rock Creatures furiously worked on the hard ground.
In just half an hour, a vertical tunnel over one meter in diameter appeared on the ground level.
Looking down from the mouth of the tunnel, about two hundred meters below, there was an energy pipeline crafted from dark green luminescent stones, flickering with a captivating dim light.
This light spread upward through the tunnel and, upon reaching the surface, was erased by the “Veil of Different Worlds.”
Simultaneously, the energy fluctuations leaking from the pipeline were also smoothed out by the “Veil of Different Worlds.”
Noland took the Rock Earth Magic Wand and waved it in front of him, channeling Rock and Soil Energy into the four Rock Spirits.
The Rock Spirits merged into one, transforming into a Rock Giant towering over ten meters tall.
Noland used “Death Flight” to leap down the tunnel mouth.
After its master had left, the Rock Giant sprawled over the mouth of the tunnel.
In a brief alteration of light and shadow, the Rock Giant shifted from a humanoid form into a disc-shaped manhole cover, sealing the entire tunnel mouth without leaving the tiniest crack.
Noland flew down the tunnel, soon approaching the surge of energy from the pipeline.
Looking at the pipeline before him, flickering with a soft green light, Noland asked inwardly:
“Your Excellency, can the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ adjust the energy monitoring instrument at the pipeline hub?”
After the leakage of Soul Energy in the pipeline, the flow data on the energy monitor at the network hub would inevitably show a decrease.
This was similar to normal pipeline monitoring.
The Assassin Angel responded:
“Once you find the pipeline hub and touch it with your palm, I can use the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ to cover up the anomalies in the monitoring data.”
Noland nodded, squinting his eyes toward a High Platform in the far distance.
This portion of the Underground Pipeline was set in a vast space no higher than three meters.
Beyond the straight-extending pipeline, only the High Platform was particularly conspicuous. noveldrama
As Noland flew toward the High Platform, he cast Deconstruction.
Yes, he guessed right; that High Platform was indeed one of the many hubs of the pipeline network, equipped with a Magic Instrument to monitor the flow of energy.
In the Deconstruction Results, this pipeline hub was named by the System as “Nexus 15.”
That is, there were at least fourteen more hubs of this kind underground.
One pipeline hub was responsible for monitoring the energy flow within a small area.
And since energy flow is continuous, any anomalies here would appear at another pipeline hub.
Merely covering up the monitoring data of one pipeline hub was not enough for Noland.
He had to interfere with every single pipeline hub to ensure that his underground actions did not leak out.
Moreover, drawing Soul Energy stored within the pyramid would also cause data anomalies at the pipeline hub.
So, from any perspective, it was necessary for Noland to visit every hub.
“This is going to be a big project…”
Noland muttered to himself and then contacted Nolin to allow part of her computational power to assist him.
Nolin gladly agreed.
More than ten Flight Mechanics flew out of Noland’s Magic Pouch, spreading throughout the pipeline network in search of other hubs.
While Nolin was locating the hubs, Noland planned to test the power of “Soul Absorption.”
He took out the “Sword of Silence” from his Magic Pouch, infused it with Silent Power to utilize its Breaking Law feature, and sliced open the guarded outer wall of the pipeline.
With the Silent Power active, the Guardian Magic Pattern was rendered useless, neither able to launch an energy strike at the intruder nor send an alarm to the Patrol Team.
