Chapter 1279: 412. Universe Wonders_3
Aiden Brooks, while basking in the small town ambiance, still harbored a tinge of superiority.
He was no ordinary player.
He had received a hidden task, an advantage incomparable to that of ordinary players.
While assuming a magic-related profession, he could also reap additional remuneration from the Dark Divine Cult.
This kind of effort-saving deal could make any player wake up laughing from a dream.
Content with himself, Aiden followed the signs towards the Great Gate of the Magic Academy.
...
What he did not know was that a few little elves had set their eyes on him, their gaze shimmering with an inexplicable glow.
…
…
Inside the castle of the Magic Academy.
Noland Lee sat by a large, dark red desk, staring at the magic crystal ball in front of him.
Through the perspective of the little elves, he saw “Reborn, I Will Not Serve” within the crowd.
Noland could tell that this guy had likely been corrupted by the Dark Divine Cult, turning into a Junior Dark Priest.
Noland’s conclusion was not based on the detection results of magic detection, but rather from Passive Deconstruction.
He had created this unique space using a spell called “Man-made Black Hole.”
“Man-made Black Hole” was a domain type of spell, not an offensive or defensive one.
Although it inherently twisted space, it did not expand on its own and devour everything like a real black hole.
Also, the conditions for casting this spell were quite stringent—it could only be cast once every half-year.
If it endured a magic energy of about 1,200 tera at once, it would shatter and vanish.
The effect of extracting the soul from the player’s body, however, was accomplished by the spell “Soul Extraction.”
Ordinary detection magic and the player nameplates provided by the game could not detect the fraud on some players.
But during the soul extraction, Passive Deconstruction would trigger normally, allowing Noland to know the Deconstruction Results of each player.
In the Deconstruction Results of this particular player, words appeared: “Faction: Dark Divine Cult.”
Not just him; over twenty other players also showed the same condition.
These players all had one thing in common: their characters were new, having been created not long ago.
Their professional column listed only one occupation: Junior Interstellar Warrior, Level 0. noveldrama
Their game wallets, personal resumes, and so forth, were all blank.
According to previous information obtained, players who had recently deleted their characters were the targets of contamination by the Dark Divine Cult.
Noland pondered for a few seconds and then called up the game interface in his mind, activating the report function.
For such miscreants, it was better not to let them disturb his Academy affairs, to avoid fostering trouble.
Noland rapidly filled the report column with 22 player IDs, then clicked confirm.
After a brief wait, Noland witnessed the 22 players being forcibly logged out amidst their bewildered expressions.
“Hmm~ Not bad, not bad. It seems the Plane Core behind ‘Starry Sea’ is quite concerned about the pollution from the Dark Divine Cult, to have banned their accounts so swiftly.”
Noland nodded in satisfaction and continued to secretly observe the visitors.
Several fleets, whose conduct vastly differed from that of ordinary players, arrived near the black hole through jump transitions.
Noland switched the viewing screen and recognized the emblems on the fleet.
“Eh? How did I end up attracting the United Bureau’s folks? Hiss… wait, do these Outer Space natives, who are merely NPCs to the players, also plan to assume magic-related professions?”
