Chapter 1341: 438. Brainstem of the heart

The visitor was indeed the Assassin Angel’s avatar in the Inner Cosmos.

Noland Lee, the Scroll Angel, and the Assassin Angel each had their respective roles during this period.

Noland Lee was in charge of assembling teams in Outer Space to destroy the Metal Creation Group.

The main task of the Scroll Angel was to collaborate with the White Ancestor Dragon and the “Wizard” Plane Core to devise strategic plans against the Metal Ancestor Dragon, and when necessary, to use the destiny shackles to guide the wizards in the Inner Cosmos to counter the Metal Ancestor Dragon and the Death Steel Legion.

The job of the Assassin Angel was rather simple; his sole duty was to monitor every move of the Metal Ancestor Dragon.

Currently, the Metal Ancestor Dragon and the Death Steel Legion were still confined to the Pollution Zone of the Tatis Region, showing no signs of expansion.

...

Thus, the Assassin Angel would remain in the Pollution Zone for an extended period unless the situation changed and would not return to Spinning Continent.

After Noland Lee projected his will into the Inner Cosmos through a ceremony, the Scroll Angel notified the Assassin Angel to come and join them.

Given the Assassin Angel’s ability to act, he could have arrived here instantly, but it took him such a long time to appear now.

The Scroll Angel looked towards the person emerging out of thin air and asked,

“You’re finally here, Berya. Has something happened at Alchemist Island?”

The Assassin Angel nodded slightly and said,

“Indeed, there has been a situation. The Metal Ancestor Dragon is directing its minions to dig downward, seemingly trying to forcefully bore through the Inner Cosmos’s stratum to find the Sacred Fire hidden beneath.” noveldrama

The Scroll Angel was briefly startled,

“It wants to find the Sacred Fire in this manner? Does it have some method to break through the protective barrier surrounding the Sacred Fire? That barrier was laid down collectively by the Star Gods along with Gilenz and Senati.”

The Assassin Angel replied,

“I’m not aware of the tricks it may have hidden. However, based on its insistent commands for the Death Steel Legion to join the digging effort, it must be somewhat confident about breaking through the barrier protecting the Sacred Fire.”

The Scroll Angel asked solemnly,

“How is their digging progress? How long will it take for them to reach the area of the Sacred Fire?”

The Assassin Angel calculated for half a second and said,

“…I estimate the progress to be less than 5%, it would take at least a year for them to reach the barrier of the Sacred Fire. However, if they can acquire external reinforcements, the digging progress will be much faster.”

The Scroll Angel and the Assassin Angel directed their gazes towards Noland Lee.

Noland Lee met their gazes and nodded,

“I will accelerate our efforts in Outer Space. I believe that after rescuing Your Excellency from the Main Brain Controller, the task of destroying the Metal Creation Group will proceed more smoothly.”

The Assassin Angel inquired,

“Where is your physical body now?”

“In an uninhabited star domain right next to Fenir Star Domain. I can use ‘Light Energy Transmission’ to arrive near the Main Brain Controller at any moment,” Noland Lee responded.

The Assassin Angel asked further,

“Have you tried to use Passive Deconstruction to examine the situation of the Main Brain Controller?”

Noland Lee shook his head,

“Not yet. I’m worried about alerting the guards watching over the Main Brain Controller. Should I look for an opportunity to initiate Passive Deconstruction to find a way to break into the Main Brain Controller?”

The Assassin Angel stretched out a hand to the Scroll Angel, who, with a flick of a finger, retrieved a sheepskin scroll from a spatial rift and handed it to the Assassin Angel.

The Assassin Angel then handed the scroll to Noland Lee and stated,

“No, you don’t need to do that. While you were away from the Inner Cosmos, the Scroll Angel and I arranged several ceremonies to remotely observe the Main Brain Controller. He activated his Active Deconstruction ability and obtained all the information about the Main Brain Controller, including the method to remove the seal.”

Noland Lee took the sheepskin scroll and unfurled it to inspect.

This was a magical item, which recorded the results of Active Deconstruction using dynamic characters and images.

An interesting detail emerged.

The device that Noland Lee had always called the Main Brain Controller had a true name called ‘Brainstem of the Angel of Heart’.

The Angel of Heart was also an angel of the Supreme Star Palace, a gigantic creature over a kilometer long with unmatched expertise in the psyche, whose true name was Vaana and who held dominion over the mind and illusions.

During the era of the Supreme Star Palace, the common communicator used by all life creatures was the Mind Resonance Crystal created by the Angel of Heart.

This device could be considered analogous to mobile phones and portable computers.

The Mind Resonance Crystal allowed its holder’s mind to enter a shared psychic illusion, facilitating “online” communication among life creatures everywhere.

Just like one could browse videos on a phone, beings holding the Mind Resonance Crystal could also experience “online” entertainment activities within the psychic illusion.

Thus, the Angel of Heart not only controlled the great power of communication in the Supreme Star Palace but was also a force in the entertainment and media sector.

So, what maintained this public psychic illusion?

Yes, that’s right, it was the ‘Brainstem of the Angel of Heart’.

To handle the vast flow of psychic information, the Angel of Heart chose the most critical part of himself to sustain the psychic illusion.

His brainstem was not only capable of creating a psychic illusion that could accommodate billions of life forms but also managed to trap the true body of the Assassin Angel inside it.

Noland Lee now understood.

The Angel Crystals he found on the fleet commander of the Archangel Group actually originated from the Angel of Heart, not Gilenz.

It was these crystals, endowed with strong psychic binding capabilities, that helped the Angel Enterprises Alliance to maintain control over the Artificial Angels.

But here came the problem; why was the cell imprisoning the Assassin Angel the brainstem of the Angel of Heart?

This was strange.

The Assassin Angel remembered clearly, after he had rejected the Star Gods’ proposal to hand over the Sacred Fire to Extraterrestrial Eternity, he was flung out of the Inner Cosmos by Senati.
