Chapter 1178: 368.The previous teaching
“Listen carefully to my words, Noland Lee Jarvis.”
Although the voice of the Assassin Angel still lacked fluctuation and was difficult to discern its gender, Noland sensed a grave significance in it.
“This part of my will that entered the Inner Cosmos has followed you through many events. I gradually recalled the past. I also have some conjectures about why my original body is trapped in the Main Brain Controller of the Angel Enterprises Alliance.”
Noland remained silent, listening quietly.
He discerned an almost imperceptible sense of parting from it.
“A wizard’s Magic Avatar must merge with the original body to bring with it its own memories and experiences. Similarly, I must do the same. The part of my will that entered the Inner Cosmos is about to vanish. Using the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ to protect you, Denise, and the Gem Box to escape is the last thing I can do.”
...
The Assassin Angel said:
“After I leave, the 3 billion Soul Energy Points in the Gem Box will be at your disposal. I wish to exchange them for a promise from you.”
Noland took a slight breath and exhaled slowly:
“No problem, I’m getting the better end of this deal. Please go ahead.”
The Assassin Angel said:
“After you have gained your own Sub-Dimensional Plane, I hope you can conduct a ceremony within it to contact my original body.”
“A ceremony to communicate with the original body in Outer Space?” Noland was somewhat confused.
Didn’t the Assassin Angel previously insist on upholding the order of the Supreme Star Palace?
Why had it suddenly changed its mind, now willing to use a ceremony to communicate with the original body in Outer Space?
Noticing Noland’s expression, the Assassin Angel said:
“I know what confuses you. Perhaps you will understand the answer when we meet next time. Now, time is pressing, continue listening to me.”
Noland nodded.
A rhythm pulsed from the ring of the Assassin Angel, penetrating Noland’s mind.
An illusory map filled with stars appeared before Noland, reminiscent of a narrow Galaxy lying across the night sky, dazzling, profound, filled with silence and mystery.
Noland subconsciously cast Deconstruction at the map and was immediately startled.
This was the Magic Array Blueprint for the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’!
Its complexity far exceeded anything Noland had seen before.
Just the Spell Nodes that required to be outlined with willpower alone numbered over ten thousand!
‘Veil of Different Worlds’ was a mysterious side ability, where did the Assassin Angel get this Spell Blueprint from?
“My original body does not have the experience of being with you, so it logically won’t trust you. Therefore, I have prepared this gift for you.”
The Assassin Angel said:
“With your Magic Accomplishment, you should recognize that this is the casting blueprint of some Spell. Yes, it indeed is. This is a Magic Array Blueprint which I wove by imitating the ‘Veil of Different Worlds,’ using the knowledge of Magic I learned from Nicolette. When you cast ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ in front of my original body, it will prove that you have earned my trust. My original body will then once again send will into the Inner Cosmos.”
Noland suddenly felt emotional:
“But the next time a part of your will appears in the Inner Cosmos, it won’t be you anymore, right?”
“Yes, but you need not feel sad,” said the Assassin Angel:
“Human life lies in ‘memory.’
“For humans, a continuous memory equates to a continuous life. The will that appears in the Inner Cosmos next time, not carrying my memories, will naturally become a new life, a new entity in your eyes.
“As for me, my original body, and the part of the will that appears in the Inner Cosmos next time, we three are the same individual.
“Because we don’t need the process, only the outcome. Over the long years, we have experienced so much that by seeing the outcome alone, we can deduce the process and fill in the experiences of my interactions with you.”
Noland shook his head and sighed:
“It seems that the way humans and deities think really is worlds apart.”
The Assassin Angel glossed over this subject:
“That’s not the point, Noland Lee Jarvis. Try the casting blueprint I gave you.”
Noland pushed aside the clutter in his mind and focused his attention on the Magic Array Blueprint.
As usual, he activated Deconstruction, consumed Energy Points to record it, and then attempted to trace the blueprint to cast the Spell.
Relying on the inherent talent for casting he had brought with him through his travels, Noland easily cast the much-longed-for ‘Veil of Different Worlds.’
An invisible layer of Spell mist emanated from beneath his Magic Robe, quickly covering his body.
In an instant, he transformed from a living person sitting in a chair to a transparent wisp of air.
Noland successfully replicated the scene from half an hour ago when the room was empty, and presented it over the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’.
[System Message:]
[You have successfully cast a ‘Veil of Different Worlds (Imitation)’ with a magical power of 10 points.]
[Your Energy Points are decreasing at a rate of 1000 points every 60 minutes.]
[Your Soul Energy is decreasing at a rate of 1 point every 60 minutes.]
The effect of the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ was good, but its casting consumption was indeed quite significant. noveldrama
In layman’s terms, Noland would have to cover himself with as many points of ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ as the detection spell’s might used by someone trying to detect him.
The strength of the detection spell and the magical power of the ‘Veil of Different Worlds’ had a 1-to-1 ratio.
As long as the latter was not lower than the former, Noland wouldn’t be discovered by others.
