Chapter 1314: 427. After Erasing
How many forms can death take?
Excessive blood loss, limb fractures, and open wounds that baffle medical professionals are the catastrophes of the body.
Excessive fright, despair, and intense emotional shifts leading to heart diseases are the harbingers of death from spiritual exhaustion.
Burning bodies, crushing bones to dust, erasing all traces of the living—death here is the demise of both spirit and flesh, with only memories proving someone’s existence.
But what kind of death is it when even the memories meant to prove someone’s existence disappear?
The answer is annihilation.
...
From the aspects of the physical, the spiritual, and the memories of others, it completely erases a person.
Angel of Space and Gravity, Gilenz’s “Space Erasure,” cannot erase the memories related to the deceased, but it accomplished physical destruction to the utmost.
Other physical destruction techniques merely destroy the body and its traces, while “Space Erasure” erases the space around the deceased and replaces it with a brand new one. noveldrama
Players and the fleet disappeared in “Space Erasure.”
The Demon God Host did not escape death.
Only the Artificial Angels survived.
Under Noland Lee’s watchful eyes, twenty luminous white orbs appeared out of nowhere in that dark cosmic space.
They slowly and irreversibly began to take human shapes, gradually enlarging and evolving into the form of Artificial Angels.
Noland Lee didn’t need to think much to understand the situation before him:
The “Death Immunity” of the Artificial Angels could immunize them against Gilenz’s “Space Erasure.”
Those twenty white orbs were the Artificial Angels being resurrected.
Noland Lee originally thought that the Artificial Angels’ “Death Immunity” was a capability akin to “limb regeneration,” at most reviving life by repairing fatal bodily injuries.
But nown upon seeing this, Noland Lee realized “Death Immunity” was not simple; it could even counteract the top-level divine power of the Angels’ “Space Erasure.”
Keep in mind, after “Space Erasure,” not even a single hair existed in that cosmic space, let alone anything like the cells of Artificial Angels.
This means, the Artificial Angels currently in the phase of resurrection are experiencing a process akin to creation out of nothing.
This not only violates the laws of physics but also shattered Noland Lee’s conception of “resurrection.”
In a sense, the “Death Immunity” of the Artificial Angels seemed more like a conceptual strike skill, ensuring that no matter the form of death, life forms possessing this skill could never be killed.
This setting was forceful, indubitable, unbreakable, hard to tamper with, and impossible to exploit loopholes in.
While Noland Lee pondered, the growth speed of these fifty-nine orbs suddenly accelerated.
Their luminance intensified, brightening a small segment of the starry sky.
In just five minutes, twenty Artificial Angels clad in armor and wielding long spears and shields appeared in the universe.
Their gazes were vacant, their eyes lifeless, as they floated silently in space as if they had lost all consciousness.
Noland Lee narrowed his eyes slightly and casually cast several detection spells, then a spark of realization flashed through his eyes!
The cockpits in the heads of these twenty Artificial Angels were still there, but the pilots were gone!
Scanning a few more Artificial Angels, Noland Lee found that the metallic cargo compartments storing the Demon God Cells had also disappeared.
“It seems, the ‘Death Immunity’ protected only the Artificial Angels themselves and couldn’t save the pilots from ‘Space Erasure.’ Additionally, while the Angels’ armor, shields, and spears are intact, the metal cargo compartments they carried have vanished. Could this mean that ‘Death Immunity’ safeguards the Artificial Angels’ equipment as well, or perhaps the Artificial Angels and their standard equipment are inherently a single entity?”
Noland Lee pondered for a moment, looked around, feeling no transitional fluctuations.
Everything that happened here seemed far too sudden.
Not only had the players not realized what had happened, but even the Angel Enterprise Alliance had not managed to send a new team to check the situation on time.
The twenty Artificial Angels, like ownerless objects, floated in the cold cosmic space.
With a flash of inspiration, Noland Lee brought up the task interface and threw a sudden task to Cucumber Slice and the others.
He planned to use the players to secretly transport an Artificial Angel away.
Whether it was the extraordinary nature of the Artificial Angels themselves or the biotechnology of the Angel Enterprise Alliance, it was worth Noland Lee doing so.
…
Meanwhile, in the uninhabited galaxy next to the Motuoli Galaxy.
Players who had not gone to the battle scene gathered here.
Just a few minutes earlier, many of them were still upset about not being able to grab a share at the scene.
But now, each of them sincerely admired the commander’s foresight.
Of course, they were also excited about having completed the “Unqualified Tool Man” task.
The drastic change in their emotions stemmed from the tragedy of others.
What was that saying again? Joy does not disappear; it only shifts.
When the players at the scene unexpectedly died, their joy transferred to those who had not gone.
Almost at the same time that the system announced the completion of “Unqualified Tool Man,” the players’ chat channel exploded.
“I [excited profanity]!”
“Speechless, so you really can die suddenly…”
“That’s it, the task to defeat the Demon God Host has forcibly failed, ‘Unqualified Tool Man’ isn’t completed either…”
