Chapter 1309: 425. Leave a beacon

The actual situation was more complicated than Noland Lee had imagined.
The Guardian Angel Group, a subsidiary of the Angel Enterprises Alliance, was not indifferent, but rather found itself in a difficult position to express.
As early as when the transport fleet was attacked by players, the Guardian Angel Group had received a distress signal from the fleet.
A support team of 20 Artificial Angels was immediately dispatched from a space station on a certain planet in the Motuoli Galaxy.
However, the fleet soon transmitted news of a Demon God Host.
...
The Angel Enterprise Alliance was of course aware of what kind of monster this was.
Demon God Hosts devour flesh and blood, preying on life creatures, and they grow at an alarming rate.
It was highly probable that these 20 Artificial Angels would be delivering themselves as food instead of quelling the unrest. noveldrama
Having no other choice, the Guardian Angel Group had to issue a command for the support team to return to base immediately.
The support team, which had only jumped halfway, turned back without a moment’s hesitation.
This directly led to Noland Lee not seeing any Guardian Angels on the scene.
For the Guardian Angel Group, rescuing the transport fleet was no longer possible, but the Demon God Host still had to be dealt with.
Otherwise, the Motuoli Galaxy’s breeding planetospheres, resource planetospheres, and the numerous space stations of all sizes would suffer.
After considering the situation, the Guardian Angel Group simply decided to use the transport fleet as bait and set up a deadly weapon.
…
In the Motuoli Galaxy, on the dark side of Motuoli-19 Planet, a completely black cuboid space station hovered in space.
Seth-3, the Guardian Angel Group’s executive in charge of defense for the Motuoli Galaxy, was listening to instructions from Director Seth.
Thanks to advanced biotechnology and cloning techniques, Director Seth had created more than 20 clones, assigning them as executives to various galaxies to manage security matters.
As the original, Director Seth maintained mind synchronization with his clones at all times through a technique named the “Mind Tunnel.”
Without needing Seth-3 to report back, Director Seth was already aware of the incidents taking place in the Motuoli Galaxy.
However, knowing was one thing.
When it came to the details of the situation, Seth-3 still needed to conduct a thorough investigation.
After all, Director Seth could only maintain mind synchronization with Seth-3, not omniscience or omnipotence.
What Seth-3 didn’t know, Director Seth couldn’t possibly know either.
For instance…
Why did that group, who called themselves players and were also known by outsiders as “Undying,” suddenly amass near the transport fleet and then all leave, leaving behind only a few invisibility escort ships with poor hiding techniques?
The Undying were often likened to “locusts.”
They act collectively, swarming in, covering the skies, devouring everything in their path, and then leaving without a trace.
Director Seth was well aware of their tactics.
Director Seth also knew that Undying required a large amount of Demon God Cells to create potions to enhance themselves.
For the Undying, a Demon God Host was an irresistible temptation.
Under such circumstances, they still retreated.
After discussing with Seth-3 for a moment, they concluded:
This retreat must have been due to the Undying considering their own strength insufficient, not wanting to confront a Demon God Host in a foreign galaxy.
On one hand, the United Bureau would not intervene, leading to inevitable heavy losses for the Undying.
On the other hand, they were worried about the Angel Enterprise Alliance capitalizing on the conflict between the Undying and the Demon God Host when both were weakened.
The combination of these two factors led to the collective retreat of the Undying.
As they discussed, Seth-3’s efforts to gather information had received a response.
Seth-3 was a bald clone with tubes and wires protruding from the back of his head, an ordinary-looking face, and a black stand-up collar uniform.
Flashes of luminous light, indicative of a strong flow of information, flickered through the lines behind his brain.
Seth-3 shuddered slightly, his eyelids trembled for half a second, then he leaned forward and humbly said to the semi-transparent holographic projection in front of him:
“Director, the lambs scattered throughout the United Bureau’s territory have sent us a message. After the Undying left the Motuoli Galaxy, they did not return to the territory of the United Bureau, and the United Bureau did not receive any entry applications from the Undying. They may not have gone far and are currently lingering in uninhabited galaxies near the Motuoli Galaxy. Should we dispatch Special Battle Angels to track their whereabouts?”
The full-body holographic image was of a middle-aged man lying in a sun lounger on a beach, sunbathing in a robe.
He spoke in a lazy tone, taking his time:
“No need. I know the thoughts of those locusts. They’re hoping to snatch the fruits of victory while we’re engaged with the Demon God Host. Listen well, 3…
Director Seth paused for a moment, tilted his head slightly, and looked at his clone through the holographic screen:
“The Group’s Star Destroying Angels will be ready in half an hour.”
Star Destroying Angel.
Seth-3’s electronic brain quickly operated, pulling up the details of this Artificial Angel from the vast database.
Due to insufficient clearance, Seth-3 could access only a limited amount of information, but this did not prevent it from inwardly praising the grand creation of the Alliance.
The existence of the Star Destroying Angel had always been a closely guarded secret within the Angel Enterprise Alliance.
Their length, mass, structure, physical strength, and other parameters were all classified, and even their location was kept secret.
Legend had it that, once fully prepared, the Star Destroying Angel could lower a mysterious force field capable of annihilating all matter, including dark matter, onto any position within the territory of the Angel Enterprise Alliance, destroying everything at once.
