Chapter 1294: 419. Joint Crusade
Noland Lee’s consciousness withdrew from the body of the Elf Guard.
His physical body awakened on a planet with clear blue skies and vast oceans.
This was the Motuoli Galaxy, far from the jurisdiction of the United Bureau.
The planet beneath Noland Lee’s feet boasted vast lands and oceans, a beautiful environment, and a pleasant climate, named Motuoli -1 Planet by the Angel Enterprises Alliance.
If such a planet were located within the territory of the United Bureau, it would undoubtedly become a tourist area with both entertainment and commercial functions.
But here, under the Angel Enterprises Alliance, it was merely a pasture.
...
The creatures in the pasture were not birds or beasts, but rather young Artificial Angels, freshly released from their culture tanks.
The still under 100-meter tall artificial species would rapidly grow on this planet, with gravity strengthening their skeletal structures.
At this stage, the Artificial Angels had not yet been transformed into interstellar ships.
That is to say, their heads did not yet contain pilots’ cockpits.
Only when they reached adulthood and their head circumferences were large enough to accommodate a cockpit would the Angel Enterprises Alliance give them a cranial opening package, excavating a cavity for the cockpit.
The neural connection system of the cockpit allows the pilot’s brain nerves to connect with the nerve center of an Artificial Angel.
The number of neurons in an Artificial Angel far exceeds that of ordinary humans.
Therefore, at least two pilots who have undergone long-term training are needed to control a mature Artificial Angel.
It’s worth mentioning that although the juvenile Artificial Angels have a complete brain structure, they lack the ability to move freely; they cannot even think.
The “Mind Shackles” firmly lock every juvenile Artificial Angel’s mind, completely isolating them from external information.
They eat, drink, play, and grow on this planet, all managed by the Angel Enterprises Alliance triggering them through subcutaneous chips.
After arriving at the Motuoli Galaxy on a shuttle, Noland Lee spent about six hours following the Angel Enterprises Alliance’s transport ships to locate this planet.
His stay here was not to research the ecology of juvenile Artificial Angels, but for another purpose.
The Artificial Angels would undergo compulsory cranial surgeries upon reaching adulthood.
The Angel Enterprises Alliance would remove a part of their brain tissue to make room for the cockpit.
Noland Lee’s focus was on the portion of brain tissue that the Angel Enterprises Alliance took.
This brain tissue was collected and transported to the space station where the Main Brain Controller was located.
After a series of processes, the brain tissue would be turned into a nutrient solution to nourish the Main Brain Controller.
These facts were disclosed to Noland Lee by the Assassin Angel.
The exterior of the Main Brain Controller was an Artificial Angel’s brain that was over 20 meters in diameter.
It was the foundation of the Angel Enterprises Alliance, the source of all power for the “Mind Shackles.”
Should it be destroyed, the “Mind Shackles” on the Artificial Angels would vanish, triggering unimaginable turmoil.
The will of the Assassin Angel’s original form was sealed within such a container.
The origins of the Main Brain Controller were a mystery.
The Assassin Angel did not know, and neither did the Scroll Angel.
In fact, the history known to both angels was incomplete.
The Assassin Angel only remembered the Star God asking if he agreed to give the Sacred Fire to the Extraterrestrial Eternity, unaware of any subsequent events.
The Scroll Angel had a better recollection; he was destroyed by the Star God during a melee with other gods and was forced to initiate the revival plan.
The events of the battle between the Star God and the other gods, as well as what transpired afterward, remained unknown to both angels. noveldrama
The Main Brain Controller likely appeared during the unread history unknown to both.
Leaving aside the historical origins of the Main Brain Controller, after waiting on the planet for two days, Noland Lee finally awaited the arrival of the transport fleet carrying the brain tissue.
At this moment, the United Bureau had already opened the Star Gate to the Angel Enterprises Alliance for the Players.
Players piloting escort ships and cruisers entered the Motuoli Galaxy, alerting the Angel Enterprises Alliance.
This directly resulted in the transport fleet carrying the brain tissue being accompanied by no less than 30 Artificial Angels as a guard force.
It didn’t matter, it was inconsequential.
The “Veil of Different Worlds” allowed Noland Lee to infiltrate the fleet undetected, concealing himself within a heavy transport ship made of metal.
However, one thing did surprise Noland Lee.
This crab-shaped heavy transport ship, the Heavy Crab, surprisingly had members of the Dark Divine Cult onboard.
Under Noland Lee’s watchful eyes, these figures in black robes and black hoodies, led by the staff of the Angel Enterprises Alliance, entered the warehouse where the brain tissue was stored.
The Dark Priests extracted some brain tissue and took it away for research.
The Angel Enterprises Alliance party never interfered with their actions from start to finish.
Noland Lee knew this was a sign of some sort of cooperation between the two parties.
He followed the Dark Priests to the laboratory on the ship.
The place’s ceiling and walls were the bare metal outer shell, looking very rudimentary, but the lab equipment used was new, clearly just recently renovated.
The Dark Priests immersed the jars of brain tissue into a transparent liquid, and then…
They withdrew something Noland Lee never expected.
The insects of the Demon Brain Race!
The Dark Priests had somehow acquired the insects of the Demon Brain Race!
The Demon Brain Race, keen on controlling the brains of living beings, usurping their bodies, consciousness, and Extraordinary Abilities, transforming the latter into their puppets.
