Chapter 1177: 367. Unexpected_3
Noland Lee recalled the principle of the “Veil of Different Worlds” in his mind, and then he nodded and uttered a sound of agreement.
The Assassin Angel said:
“This ‘Time-Space Transfer’ technique with Extraordinary Abilities has a flaw. Anyone who knows this flaw can use it against me. It will take some effort for me to explain what the flaw is to you.”
“Please do.”
“First, take out two identical tea cups.”
Upon hearing this, Noland Lee did as instructed, taking out two transparent glass cups from his Magic Pouch.
...
It was unclear what the Assassin Angel did, but the two glass cups disappeared for half a second amidst a flicker, and then they reappeared.
The Assassin Angel said:
“Try to distinguish and see if you can find the glass cup that I’ve protected with the ‘Veil of Different Worlds.'”
Noland Lee studied the two cups in his hands carefully and subconsciously cast a Deconstruction spell.
In that moment…
The Deconstruction spell instantly discerned which cup was protected by the ‘Veil of Different Worlds.’
Noland Lee felt as though he had accidentally seen the answers to a test, but still had to pretend he did not know…
However, aside from the information provided by the Deconstruction spell, how should he himself determine which was the correct cup?
Noland Lee frowned in thought.
The two cups rotated in his hands from left to right.
Semi-transparent fingerprints on the cups were a bit obvious under the illumination of the setting sun, and Noland Lee noticed their presence.
Noland Lee controlled the movement of his fingertips to avoid creating more fingerprints on the cups.
He lifted his hand, bringing the cups up to his eyes, his gaze focusing on the existing fingerprints.
Something marvelous happened.
On the left cup, new fingerprints had appeared during his subconscious rotations just now. noveldrama
However, the same did not happen to the right cup.
Noland Lee rubbed vigorously with his right hand and despite the squeaky friction sound, no fingerprints were left on it.
“You’ve discovered the weakness of the ‘Veil of Different Worlds.'”
The Assassin Angel said:
“The more power I invest into using the ‘Veil of Different Worlds,’ the better it performs. Just like what you’ll see next…”
Noland Lee watched the cup in his right hand as fingerprints appeared out of nowhere, exactly the ones he had made just before.
He rubbed the cup again and new fingerprints appeared in sync with his actions, no longer like before where fingerprints wouldn’t appear no matter how he handled it.
“You see. The more power I use, the more realistic the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ becomes, and it can present the corresponding details according to the effects applied to it from outside forces. When my power is insufficient, it becomes what you saw before, unable to change details in response to external stimuli.”
The Assassin Angel spoke:
“You can discern the cup protected by the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ by observing the detail of fingerprints, and the Metal Ancestral Dragon can do the same but with greater precision.
“To put it simply, to fool your sight, I only need to invest 10 points of energy. To fool the Metal Ancestral Dragon, it would take at least 100,000 points of energy.
“You create new fingerprints by rotating the cup, and the Metal Ancestral Dragon could cause a large-scale vibration of metal objects, sending out pervasive shockwaves, creating many ‘fingerprints’ all at the same time.
“When a certain area should be vibrating with the shockwave, but remains static due to my limited power, unable to keep up with the frequency of the shockwave, this incoherence in detail will be detected by the Metal Ancestral Dragon.”
The Assassin Angel said:
“Unfortunately, my power has already been depleted too much, and it’s doubtful I can elude the Metal Ancestral Dragon’s detection. If we don’t leave the detection range of the Gem Box right after getting it, our discovery by it would be a certainty.”
“I understand what you mean. So what do we do?” Noland Lee touched his forehead.
The Assassin Angel said:
“My power is lacking, but yours is still abundant.”
“Mine?” Noland Lee blinked, not quite following at first.
