Chapter 1169: 365. The Weight of Truth
3 billion points of Soul Energy truly astonished Noland Lee and Jay Spade.
Jay Spade felt shocked because he had underestimated Elder Skimming Light’s boldness.
He had considered figures like one or two billion, but had never thought about reaching the scale of ten billion.
Now, hearing that Paisi Dingda had brought 3 billion points of Soul Energy, Jay Spade suddenly realized that it must involve the ambitions of Grand Arbitrator Paredes!
Pure Light Court intended to make a big move during this Pollution Zone incident—one that would be ten times more impactful!
Noland Lee and Jay Spade stood on different grounds, with Lee having considered less.
...
When he heard the number “3 billion,” he immediately understood why Assassin Angel had said that the Metal Ancestor Dragon might notice “Magic Theft,” and might not.
3 billion, even if Noland Lee continued stealing Mana, the Undead Cult would definitely be able to activate the Signal Tower with that amount of energy.
The existence of “Magic Theft” would merely cause slight confusion to the Metal Ancestor Dragon, and would absolutely not interfere with the activation of the Pollution Zone.
Since “Magic Theft” could not stop the opening of the zone, the Metal Ancestor Dragon and the Undead Cult might not need to fuss over the anomalous energy at the Soul Factory anymore.
As long as there was enough energy, who cared about the loss? That was the reasoning.
For Noland Lee, this was both good news and bad news.
The good was that Lee could confidently use “Magic Theft” to his heart’s content.
The bad was because it was a one-time deal.
Lee’s next visit to the Soul Factory to steal Soul Energy would probably be his last before the Pollution Zone opened.
With that thought, his next deep venture into the Soul Factory would be the day Noland Lee set out to eliminate the essence of Gatherer Corpses.
Noland Lee felt a heaviness in his heart.
A Pollution Zone involving the forces of the Undead Cult, Pure Light Court, Metal Ancestor Dragon, and Death Steel Soldiers would definitely be off the charts in terms of difficulty…
Noland Lee looked down at the Mechanos in his Magic Pouch that were only half completed.
This batch of Mechanos was originally planned for guarding the Sub-Dimensional Plane.
Now, plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and the Steel Forest of Mortal World, this Pollution Zone, had become their new battlefield.
Assassin Angel suddenly said,
“It’s time to extract Jay Spade’s full value.”
Noland Lee snapped back to reality, startled,
“Extract full value? …You mean to?”
Assassin Angel said, noveldrama
“I will use the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ placed on Jay Spade to steal the Gem Box he is carrying.”
Noland Lee gasped,
“You mean to secure that 3 billion points of Soul Energy?”
“Yes, that’s exactly my plan,” said Assassin Angel.
“3 billion points of Soul Energy is certainly no small figure. Even for the Metal Ancestor Dragon, it would take at least a year to amass such a stockpile. If we steal that Gem Box now, it’s like delaying them for a year. Unless within this year, the Undead Cult finds another way to acquire Soul Energy, they won’t possibly be able to start the Pollution Zone anytime soon.”
Noland Lee, deep in thought, looked through his Magic Vision at the Gem Box in Jay Spade’s hands and glanced at Paisi Dingda, who seemed crouched by the Metal Ancestor Dragon.
In his Panel Information, the storage level of Energy Points consistently maintained at 600 million points.
If Assassin Angel decided to steal the Gem Box, then spending Energy Points to get a clear understanding of Paisi Dingda and the details of the Gem Box was something Noland Lee had to do to avoid any discrepancies.
Noland Lee weighed his options and finally decided to implement a comprehensive Harmless Deconstruction.
“System, launch Deconstruction on the Gem Box and Paisi Dingda, and I need all their Deconstruction Results.”
After a moment of dizziness, a large block of System Text refreshed.
[System Information:]
[You consume 180 million Energy Points, performing Harmless Deconstruction on “Paisi Dingda.”]
[You consume 60,000 Energy Points, performing regular Deconstruction on “large Encrypted Gem Box.”]
[The degree of deconstruction for both reached 100%!]
[You have obtained the following Deconstruction Results:]
[Deconstruction Result One: Harmless Panel Information of Paisi Dingda]
[Deconstruction Result Two: Memory Fragments of Paisi Dingda for the past month, average completeness 5%]
[Deconstruction Result Three: Contents and decryption methods of the large Encrypted Gem Box.]
The memory fragments of Paisi Dingda had only a 5% completeness?
What was going on?
Even with Harmless Deconstruction, it shouldn’t have left just this tiny bit of memory fragments, right?
Noland Lee sensed something was very wrong.
Opening ‘Deconstruction Result One,’ and glancing at Paisi Dingda’s Personal Panel, he couldn’t help but curse internally.
This this this, this person isn’t a Wizard at all!
No, that’s not right, he should say not purely a Wizard.
He is a Synthetic Human Wizard who can operate using a Synthetic Human Main Control Chip and cast spells through the Spiritual Ocean!
One day, when Jay Spade transfers his entire soul into the Master Control Chip, he would become a being just like Paisi Dingda.
The severe omissions in Paisi Dingda’s memory fragments were due to this chip.
Noland Lee had to target this chip with Deconstruction to complete Paisi Dingda’s memory fragments.
And, the “essence of Metal Ancestor Dragon” mentioned by Assassin Angel also originated from the Synthetic Human Main Control Chip in Paisi Dingda’s head.
