Chapter 1158: 360.Escape·Noland?_3
Additionally, the Escape Core of the Plane had never mass-produced individual life creatures, and even the sub-dimensional spaces were scarce.
Often, only a single life creature would receive the “favor” of Escape, becoming either a tool for stealing the Fire of St. Dillan or for smuggling other life creatures.
In the eyes of the Assassin Angel, Noland Lee was currently such a case.
So, as a high-ranking angel of the Supreme Star Palace, should the Assassin Angel execute Noland Lee on the spot?
No, no, no, there was no need.
Those on the Supreme Star Palace’s list of wanted criminals were the core of the Escape Core of the Plane itself, not the individual life creatures favored by it.
...
Capturing Noland Lee and taking control of him would serve no purpose, for Escape could immediately abandon Noland Lee and seek a new candidate.
Otherwise, the Escape Core of the Plane would not have been given such a slippery name as “Escape.”
Therefore, based on the Assassin Angel’s experience, controlling Noland Lee was not the priority; securing the Plane Core behind him to prevent Escape from slipping away was the key.
And this involved the issue of Noland Lee communicating with Escape.
“After the matters here are concluded, I will tell you the blueprint of the ritual array and the materials needed,”
the Assassin Angel said:
“Once the ritual array is activated, no matter what you see, do not be surprised or panic, as that might be Escape observing you. I will step in and explain the situation to it.”
Noland Lee asked with some uncertainty:
“Could it possibly run away as soon as it sees you?”
“It shouldn’t,” the Assassin Angel said, seemingly with less confidence:
“During the existence of the Supreme Star Palace, some angels have encountered it, with mixed results. I have not offended it, so there’s no reason for it to avoid me.”
Noland Lee nodded his head.
It was the only way now.
He hoped the Assassin Angel would not scare Escape away… otherwise, his departure from the Inner Cosmos might be jeopardized.
While chatting with the Assassin Angel, Noland Lee kept an eye on the underground tunnel behind the energy center.
Ten minutes had passed since the initialization of the pipe network; even the Undead Cult should have noticed the anomaly in the energy transmission by now.
Noland Lee waited quietly.
After a little while, dozens of dark figures flew out of the underground tunnel, swiftly swooping through the air a few meters above the ground level, while calling out loudly.
“Archelon!”
“Come quickly! Archelon!” noveldrama
“Where are you?!”
“What’s going on with the energy pipeline network? Why has the energy transmitted to the signal tower decreased by nearly 10%!”
“Archelon! Come out!”
The composition of these undead was rather complex, including high-level battle spirits acting as team guards, demon bone personal guards and assistant priests, along with a few ethereal beings.
What particularly caught Noland Lee’s attention were the Death Steel Soldiers trailing at the rear of the group.
There were ten clueless steel lumps that could not fly, managing to keep up with the team only by running on their legs.
The flying undead were screaming in the air, searching around the network or trying to control the energy nexus, adjusting the flow of energy.
Meanwhile, those ten Death Steel Soldiers stood stiffly in place, either taking the opportunity to observe the network or simply zoning out…
Noland Lee threw a Deconstruction Technique at the undead, and through a memory fragment, he saw what was inside the signal tower.
A beautiful figure flashed across Noland Lee’s mind, causing his body to shudder!
